- Lot Description
South Asia, Southern India, Maharashtra / Karnataka region, ca. 19th to early 20th century CE. A devotional Hindu copper plaque in relief, depicting the fierce Shaivite warrior deity Virabhadra, the incarnation of Shiva created to avenge the death of Sati. Shown here in dynamic frontal posture, Virabhadra is rendered with multiple arms, two of which project prominently in high relief - one grasping a shield, the other formerly holding a now-broken weapon. Flanking his powerful form are two significant figures from the Shaivite mythos: at his right stands Daksha, identifiable by his goat or ram's head, shown in a gesture of reverence (anjali mudra) acknowledging his defeat. To the left of Virabhadra stands Bhadrakali, Shiva's fierce consort, also in anjali mudra. The figures are framed by an elegant arch crowned with a stylized cobra hood, a symbol of divine protection. The plaque is set against a yellow-toned velvet textile within a wood frame. Size of panel: 6.3" W x 11.5" H (16 cm x 29.2 cm); wood frame: 16.25" L x 13.25" W (41.3 cm x 33.7 cm)
Provenance: private New Jersey, USA collection; ex-private New Jersey, USA collection
