Moorlee - A Native Nun   Height 15cm   The description by an Englishman was given on 21st March 1865 in Bombay. The woman looks more like a 'booth', a witch or ghost. She is part of a group of 27 figures made at Pune in the Bombay Presidency, perhaps by a modeller such as Sitaram Joshi.   These figures resemble those made at Krishnagar, both in their superior finish and in the practice of using specially-woven cloth for their dresses.   The present collection, made in March 1865, has been preserved under a glass dome, and is therefore in very good condition.
