Vasakasajja Nayika After Her Bath

Standing on a white pedestal is a female figure, identified as a vasakasajja nayika, or a heroine that dresses up for her lover. She has just finished her bath and is getting ready to meet her lover. She wears a red fabric that partially covers her body, bracelets, armlets, earrings, necklaces, and anklets. She holds her long, black hair in her left hand while she reaches with her right hand for a small perfume flask on a wooden table behind her. An attendant stands nearby with a gold tray that holds more jewelry. In front of the attendant is a large washing basin and ewer. The nayika stands on a terrace with white columns. The wall behind her is painted green and decorated with gold arabesques. A small chandelier (?) hangs above her head.
