Dancing Girl is a prehistoric bronze sculpture made in lost-wax casting about c. 2300–1750 BC in the Indus Valley civilisation city of Mohenjo-daro (in modern-day Pakistan),[1] which was one of the earliest cities. The statue is 10.5 centimetres (4.1 in) tall, and depicts a nude young woman or girl with stylized ornaments, standing in a confident, naturalistic pose. Dancing Girl is highly regarded as a work of art.
The statue was excavated by British archaeologist Ernest Mackay in the "HR area" of Mohenjo-daro in 1926.[2] It is now in the National Museum, New Delhi, having been allocated to India at the Partition of India in 1947.
