Jaina Devi standing in tribhanga pose, Deogarh, Dt. Jhansi, Uttarpradesh. c. 10th century A.D. She is in all probability a personification of knowledge that is overflowing with mercy and serenity. At
the same time the sculpture's sensitivity and freshness as also its form replete with womanly grace will recall some of the later Florentine works of art in Europe.
