- Lot Description
Central Asia, India, ca. 8th to 12th century. This stone stele depicts the Hindu deity Vishnu with his two consorts, Lakshmi, who holds a fly whisk, and Sarasvati, goddess of arts and learning, who plays a stringed musical instrument. At their sides are two additional attendants. The sculptor has presented Vishnu as a princely figure, adorned by an elaborate crown and jewelry, and a skirt-like garment. The long garland we see draped in front of his body and crossing at the knees is called a mala. Vishnu was the protector and preserver of the world to Brahma's creator and Shiva's destroyer. Size: 7.5" W x 13" H (19 cm x 33 cm)
Temples in Pala were built of brick, with carved stone images like this one set into wall niches. The Pala Empire was the last major Buddhist power in India, although their sculptural art, as here, often includes Hindu elements and iconography. They are well known for their sculpture, which was influenced by the Gupta period, and in turn influenced artwork in Tibet, Nepal, and Southeast Asia.
