SCULPTURE
From early beginnings Nepalese culture has traces up to modern times which is as an another art is Sculpture. These kind of carved artifacts have been found in the Terai region of our country nearly all Nepalese Sculptures are of a religious character. It seems these kind of artists themselves were also greatly with a feeling of religious devotion.

THE GOLDEN AGE OF NEPALESE SCULPTURE
The Sculpture of Nepalese has reached its zenith in the Lichchhavi,copper,stone, and bronze image from this period show round faces with slanted eyes. The presentation of simplicity is the main function. The use of various ornaments and clothes was quite moderate, many Hindu deities, for example are shown wearing only a dhoti. Buddhists deities were carved to show them wearing long sanghatis saffron colored robe that the Buddhist were hanging . Mostly Lichchhavi period sculptures used basalt for their work, first chiselling and then smoothing and varnishing,portraits with iron dust. Some of the best example of Lichchhavi art are the images of 'SLEEPING' in Budhanilkhantha,located eight km of north of Kathmandu and Vishnu Vikranth or Dwarf incarnation fence near Lazimpat in Kathmandu.
