Stone carvings

The stone sculptures after a hold contrast to the old sculptural pieces in the Archaeology gallery, remind the visitor of the bygone days of monuments and temples which still sing in silence the aesthetic merits of both patrons and the artisans. These could make inroads into the realms of history by way of their association with the traditional stone carvers whose fore-fathers have built the huge temples that now dot the land scape of this land.
The free standing sculptures, cymbal players and the drummer are the dreams realised in sand stone in imitation of Konark statues comparatively finer in execution and workmanship in needle work finances are the soapstone works of immortal Konark wheel, lofty Kandarpa ratha, well designed Nrutyasala, bulky Ganesh, amorous couple, Panchamukhi Siva and the image of Surya.
