Like this Padmapani:</p><p><img src="https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.metmuseum.org%2Ftoah%2Fimages%2Fh5%2Fh5_1982.220.2.jpg&amp;sp=280ee26c636f8aeb4ab73ec65ad7f4d1&amp;anticache=558698" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>With Tibetan and Sino-Tibetan statues the faces are generally even more square, with the Sino-Tibetan faces often having a tendency for chubbier cheeks.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Indian statues look more like Indian people. They have more oval faces with more rounded foreheads and long, thin noses. Like this Parvati:</p><p><img src="https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F22%2Fa7%2F04%2F22a70464aefef17c1e49f90ed736c67b.jpg&amp;sp=bfa95c4572846ad7797e2e136c13a60d&amp;anticache=186755" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>About only finding the plant to support the raised knee on Nepali statues, you won&#039;t find many supported Dakini statues online anyway. Antique Dakinis rarely have that support. They are much better quality, artist made and bronze.</p><p><br /></p><p>But there are Asian sites selling modern mass produced statues, made in different Asian styles. No doubt journey&#039;s can be found on one of those, although probably misrepresented, they will throw any Goddess or mythical being&#039;s name around.</p><p><br /></p><p>You called the person who made journey&#039;s an artist, but I would rather call him a maker. I hope you can see the difference with the bronzes I posted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
