CCRT/SF-3/163/2015 ADDRESS; D 1051 NEW FRIENDS COLONY NEAR MATA MANDIR EMAIL: [email protected] MOBILE: 98101 67661 PROGRESS REPORT 1 WHAT IS SCULPTURE Three-dimensional art that can stand on its own is known as a sculpture. Sculptures vary in sizes, and may be small enough to fit in the palm of a hand or large enough that they can only fit in a large outdoor space. Some sculptures are representative, and may look like a famous person; others may be abstract. The materials used in sculpture vary, and anything from ceramics, cement, recycled materials, paper or synthetics may be used to produce this particular type of art. By definition, a sculpture differs from other structures in that it does not have an intrinsically utilitarian purpose. HISTORY & ORIGIN Sculpture was used mainly as a form of religious art to illustrate the principles of Hinduism, Buddhism, or Jainism. The female nude in particular was used to depict the numerous attributes of the gods, for which it was often endowed with multiples heads and arms. Important milestones in the history of sculpture include: the Buddhist Pillars of Ashokaof the Mauryan period, with their wonderful carved capitals (3rd century BCE); the figurative Greco- Buddhist sculpture of the Gandhara and Mathura schools, and the Hindu art of the Gupta period (1st-6th century CE). In brief, the flow of the growth of sculpture is as follows: Indus Valley Civilization (c.3300-1300 BCE) Mauryan Sculpture: Pillars of Ashoka (3rd Century BC Ajanta Caves (c.200 BCE - 650 CE) Under the Kushans, sculpture from Gandhara and Mathura art went on to influence artists across India, Elephanta Caves (c.550-720) Pallava and Pandya Sculpture from South India (600-900) Ellora Caves (c.600-1000) Chandela Stone Sculpture in Central India (10th-13th century) Chola Bronze Sculpture of South India, Sri Lanka (9th-13th century) Famous Sculptures that impressed and inspired me 1) TheAshoka Pillars 2) SanchiStupa 3) Ajanta Caves 4).

  • Formation of Chrysocolla and Secondary Copper Phosphates in the Highly Weathered Supergene Zones of Some Australian Deposits
    Records of the Australian Museum (2001) Vol. 53: 49–56. ISSN 0067-1975 Formation of Chrysocolla and Secondary Copper Phosphates in the Highly Weathered Supergene Zones of Some Australian Deposits MARTIN J. CRANE, JAMES L. SHARPE AND PETER A. WILLIAMS School of Science, University of Western Sydney, Locked Bag 1797, Penrith South DC NSW 1797, Australia [email protected] (corresponding author) ABSTRACT. Intense weathering of copper orebodies in New South Wales and Queensland, Australia has produced an unusual suite of secondary copper minerals comprising chrysocolla, azurite, malachite and the phosphates libethenite and pseudomalachite. The phosphates persist in outcrop and show a marked zoning with libethenite confined to near-surface areas. Abundant chrysocolla is also found in these environments, but never replaces the two secondary phosphates or azurite. This leads to unusual assemblages of secondary copper minerals, that can, however, be explained by equilibrium models. Data from the literature are used to develop a comprehensive geochemical model that describes for the first time the origin and geochemical setting of this style of economically important mineralization.
