As much as I enjoy using a nice, smooth #pen (preferably gel or rollerball) I can’t deny that there’s little that compares to the joy of writing with a freshly sharpened #pencil. Currently using an #Apsara Absolute (an Indian school pencil) and it’s absolutely wonderful.
Oh, I never mentioned my mild obsession with pencils? I’ll have to show you my collection sometime. Here’s the one in question.

This stunning circa 12th century carved sandstone figure of an #Apsara from #MadhyaPradesh was withdrawn from Bonhams auction of 8th April 2014 as the legal provenance could not be provided by the seller.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