卖家的描述
A BLACK STONE STELE OF BHAIRAVA, PALA PERIOD, LATE 11TH-EARLY 12TH CENTURY
Description
Eastern India.
Exquisitely carved standing in a slight tribhanga, the pot-bellied deity, the fierce avatar of Shiva, holds a khatavanga (staff) and animal tooth in his primary hands, the raised secondary arms with a khadga (sword) and khetaka (shield).
Dressed in a short dhoti, the deity is adorned with a mundamala, serpent earrings, skull and serpent ornaments in his headdress, and a necklace made of tiger claws.
His grinning expression seems to belie his fierce nature, but unlike benign deities, who smile without parting their lips, Bhairava's open-mouthed grin bares his teeth and contributes to his terrifying countenance. His beard, mustache, bulging eyes, and flaming hair also convey his frightening nature.
Bhairava is flanked by two attendants with a fly-whisk in hand, as well as devotees and donors to the sides, with celestial garland bearers above, all under the kirtimukha to the top.
Provenance
Collection of Yvette Starck, Luxembourg, and thence by descent to Jacques Grosbusch, Luxembourg. A copy of a provenance statement, written and signed by Jacques Grosbusch, dated 31 July 2024, and confirming the above, accompanies this lot.
Condition
Very good condition, commensurate with age. Wear, obvious losses, small chips, few nicks, encrustations, remnants of varnish to the edges, and signs of weathering and erosion.
Weight: 40 kg
