These figures show a man and a woman in typical Indian dress. The woman has henna painting on her hands and both have bindis on their foreheads. This carving was made in Bombay when it was a state in west central India, now divided into the states of Gujarat and Maharashtra. Bombay (Mumbai) is the name now given to the capital of Maharashtra.
