Manipuri dancer from India...

Manipuri, one of the main styles of Classical Dances originated in the beautiful ,picturesque and secluded state of Manipur in the north-eastern corner of India. The geographical location of this state ,surrounded by the mountains has kept the people of Manipur away from the influence of other states, and hence this region has been able to retain its unique traditional culture, aesthetics, values, conventions and ethics.

The origin of Manipuri dance can be traced back to ancient times and is associated with rituals and traditional festivals of the state.

I have used terracotta, paper mache ,polymer clay, wires, silk, chiffon, organza, beads, sequins etc to make this doll. It is about 14" tall . Excellent for interior décor, gallery and gift items...
