Ancient Indian art : Copper sheet figure in the shape of man. Bisauli, Uttarpradesh.
About 1000 B.C or earlier. Height 17 inch.
Nothing is known about the people or purpose which figure of this type - found in the Gangetic valley - served, attention may be drawn to the effigy of the 'golden man' embedded in the Vedic sacrificial alter.
