This stunning circa 12th century carved sandstone figure of an #Apsara from #MadhyaPradesh was withdrawn from Bonhams auction of 8th April 2014 as the legal provenance could not be provided by the seller.

It still awaits repatriation to #India as the paperwork is yet to be completed.

The figure stands in a Tribhanga pose, the body bending in one direction at knees, other direction at hips & then at neck & shoulders.
