Carving and Modelling.

Carving.—In every Court evidence of Indian skill in carving, cither in wood, as the screens testify, or stone, as the idols and soapstone ornamental dishes show, or in ivory, as seen in the Courts of Bombay and Madras.

The Clay Figures in the Jeypore Court, and the Madras Court, show native skill in modelling.

But with all this skill in carving and modelling, will not find a single exhibit which shows native power for artistic figure sculpture.
