Chapter 2 Documents Blog

For my blog, I chose to examine Source 2.3 - The Dancing Girl. I was surprised at how sophisticated this bronze statue is. It also provides a lot of detail via the jewelry and the way her hair is put up into a low bun. The statue does exude what we identify today as confidence, from the way she is standing with her hands on her hips, to the slightly bent knee. She exudes the kind of obnoxious sass we often associate with teenage years. The picture also suggests that the Indus Valley people admired slim women with very long legs—similar to the women we often see modeling in our world today.
