AN INDIAN MAN AND WOMAN


This thirteenth-century Indian couple in a loving embrace suggests that the sexuality of women was a powerful attraction.


Points to Ponder:

--How would you describe the way in which this woman is portrayed?
--Does this image correspond to the description of women that you found in the Laws of Manu and the description of Sati?
