The Timeless Dancing Girl II

Whole figurine is based on tubular form, her arms and legs are elongated. Her standing posture with emphasis on left leg and one hand on left thigh- is the cause of her name. Her another hand on hip also gives movement and expression to the figure. Her facial expression remained unnoticed. With her chin up, the big pout lady seems either throwing a challenge, or seems unhappy with somebody. She is waiting to be pleased by somebody. The complete expression including her face and body loudly depicts it very strongly.

It is said that this figurine should be kept outside the purview of aesthetic analysis.To me, though it took very long to document Rasa theory,yet we cannot disreagrd expression and emotions of living being- human or animal. Psyche, feelings and expressions are not bound by the theories.Taking these logical concepts in account,we should not ignore such evident feature of the Dancing Girl.
