A masterpiece antique to describe about ancient Bengali fashion & lifestyle during Gangaridai civilization.  Gangaridai Plaque with a Royal Family, Chandraketugarh, West Bengal, 1st century BCE.  Source: The MetArt... https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/38575 This family scene and the touching intimacy that permeates it are unusual in Indian terracotta. With his left hand, the man, seated on a chair, holds the back of his wife's head: she stands before him and gently caresses his knees. The Gangaridae Men wore leftward leaning peaked turbans.  A small figure, thought the couple's son, is shown seated, besides a dog he holds by its leash, in the foreground. Two ducks appear at the lower left while at the far right, fragments of a monkey, climbing the leg of the chair, can be seen. However the interesting part is the "Wrong" depiction of the woman's palm on the man's knee... Is it intentional??? or a "mistake"???  Also see t
