Dancing Indian

This is among my favorites: a dancing Indian lady made of terracota. Her head is detachable, the base is a cone on which the upper torso is attached. When you shake her, she sways and moves her head. A real dancer! And she's colorfully handpainted. Very folksy. I got her at the Little India street in Penang, Malaysia, and was afraid she would break during the travel. Thankfully, she's sturdy. Wish I could get another one like her.
