The Saptarishi Tila statue, also called the Kambojika statue,[1] is a statue of a woman found in the Saptarishi mound ("Saptarishi Tila") in Mathura. The statue is life-size and is now in the Mathura Museum. The statue was discovered by Bhagawanlal Indraji, at the same time and place as another important artifact, the Mathura lion capital, dated to the beginning of the 1st century CE.[2]
The statue wears a sleeved blouse, a full skirt, and a torque and necklace like those of the Kamboj Bodhisattvas.[3]
