Description

A BUFF STANDSTONE RELIEF DEPICTING GANESHA, CENTRAL INDIA, 10TH-12TH CENTURY

Carved in relief within a recessed niche, depicting the four-armed elephant-headed deity Ganesha seated with the soles of his feet touching, the primary right hand held in abhaya mudra and the left clasped around a bowl of modak, the secondary hands tugging on the tips of his large ears. The face with a serene expression, almond-shaped eyes to the side, and tusks flanking the curved trunk. All under a running frieze of lozenges and disks.

Provenance: A private collection in Luxembourg.
Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Old wear, losses, nicks, scratches, signs of weathering and erosion, and soil encrustations.

Weight: 35 kg (incl. stand)
Dimensions: Height 39 cm (excl. stand), 47 cm (incl. stand)

Expert’s note: This architectural temple fragment stands as a remarkable testament not only to the historical and artistic wealth of Central India, but also to those who preserved it over the years. Fragments such as the present lot, provide a valuable glimpse into the sophisticated craftsmanship and cultural milieu of the time, despite being a relatively small part of a larger whole. Compare the closely related relief carvings at the Bhoramdeo Temple, Chhattisgarh, dated to 10th-12th century. Note the similar design on the band of lozenge interspersed by disks.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related pair of sandstone Ganesha idols, Chhattisgarh, 11th-12th century, in the Barsur Ganesh Temple complex.
