+6 On the topic of the attractive feminine waist see, e.g., Singh, Renn and Singh 2007: 3; Bolléc 2005: 28; Zimmer and Campbell 1983 1: 7011. In Rajasekhara's Karpūramanjarī I 30 and III 19 a woman's waist is even said to be contained in a (child's) fist. Cf. the sixteenth century Blasons du corps feminin among which there is none of the waist and that of the belly is anonymous (Schmidt 1959: 333f.). In contrast to India, in mediaeval Europe the belly is stressed (as the place of pregnancy) because the garments were tied up under the bosom and thus the waist was not even visible (Philine Helas, Madensack und Mutterschoss. in: Benthien/Wulf 2001: 180).
