The old manuals told the image-maker to meditate first and to see the deity described in its dhyāna verse before touching stone. The verse was the brief. Finished images were brought to life by opening their eyes. Egypt's sculptors knew a parallel rite, the Opening of the Mouth, and one of their words for sculptor meant "one who causes to live." We work in that lineage of attention. Each scene below is remade for several peoples with its sacred attributes kept intact.
A ruler cut from the image itself. Hindu iconometry measures in tāla, one face-length from hairline to chin, divided into 12 aṅgulas. The aṅgula is the image's own "finger," so the same proportions hold for a hand-sized bronze or a colossus. (source)
