What features of this statue may have provoked such observations [scholars inferring and observing that this 'dancing girl' was confident, good at what she did and she knew it, a queen or high status woman]?
The first thing I notice when I see the Dancing Girl statue is the girl's head is held high. The head is in such a position that it is clearly inclined, holding your head high is a symbol of confidence, an indication that you know you are doing something right, and a symbol of taking pride in yourself and actions. The bangles up and down the girl's arm, and the exquisite necklace she wears are symbols that she was her own individual, as it has been observed that women with jewelry indication class, ethnic, and individual variation.
