EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Indian terracotta bisexual figure, dating back to the 3rd century BC. Hailing from Sar Dheri and currently housed in the prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum's collection, this artifact is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient India. The figure stands proudly against a striking black background, allowing its vibrant colors and intricate details to take center stage. Its symmetrical design is truly mesmerizing, capturing the viewer's attention with its impeccable craftsmanship. As we delve into the concept behind this artwork, it becomes apparent that it represents more than just an object of beauty. This terracotta piece symbolizes inclusivity and acceptance by embodying both male and female characteristics within one form – a remarkable representation of bisexuality in ancient times. With origins in Pakistan's Charsadda region (formerly Sardheri), this artifact transcends borders and reminds us of the interconnectedness between cultures throughout history. It serves as a visual reminder of India's artistic prowess during Hindoostan times. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon, who skillfully captured every nuance in their studio shot, we can now appreciate this extraordinary piece from afar. Let us cherish such treasures that museums like Victoria & Albert preserve for generations to come – windows into our collective pasts that continue to inspire awe and appreciation today.
