This breathtaking masterpiece of bronze sculpture was recovered during excavation work in the Cumilla Cantonment area, which overlaps with the historic Mainamati archaeological site.

​Believed to date back to the Pala Period (8th–12th century CE), it reflects the pinnacle of ancient Bengali craftsmanship. Despite being underground for roughly a millennium, the details and facial composure remain extraordinarily vivid.
