This figurine of Mother Goddess is stylistically close to the Harappan period figurines. Sharing similar broad hips, stunted legs and hands, summary face, coarsely applied ornaments and highly floral head ornaments. It is noteworthy that Mother figures and nature goddesses have been represented on Indus seals, as three dimensional objects and as relief sculptures all the way through Mauryan, Shunga (4th-2nd centuries BCE) and Kushana (1st-3rd centuries CE) periods. This Mauryan period mother goddess figurine is made of a different type of clay and technique.
