Abstract

Determining the status of women from sculptures is a challenging task, especially in this period, where secular sculptures are very few. A proper analysis can only be made by comparing the hypothetical interpretation of sculptures with known facts as revealed through other sources of the period, like inscriptions and literature. Most of the inscriptions of this period are donator in nature, recording the various objects gifted by the donor. Regarding the women donors, their status can be judged in many ways, like the way they introduced themselves, the object of donation, whether the object thus, donated is owned by them or procured through some other means, etc.
