This intaglio print by K. Laxma Gaud depicts the side profile of a tribal woman who is heavily jeweled. Each and every motif, be it the attire or minute tattoos over the face, has been made scrupulously. This composition is very intriguing, for instance, the choice of bright primary colours like red and yellow, while the ways in which her hair has been made may take us back to relief sculptures from ancient temples.
