Stucco is a technique in which plaster (with sand or stone dust) is applied over a framework to create a three-dimensional decorative form. The gallery exhibits sixteen Stucco heads and figures, including both male and female representations.
These sculptures feature distinctive characteristics such as bulging eyes, sharp noses, and varying headgear styles. Some of these figures have the urdhava pundra (vaishnava emblem) mark on their foreheads. Additionally, the sculptures are adorned with patrakundalas (leaf shaped earrings) and ratnakundalas (earrings design of gem).
