A LARGE BRONZE FIGURE OF SHIVA VISHAPAHARANA, VIJAYANAGARA OR NAYAKA PERIOD, 17TH-18TH CENTURYSouth India, Tamil Nadu. Well cast seated in lalitasana atop a tiered rectangular pedestal neatly incised with hatchwork, beaded rims, and lotus petals, his right leg pendent, adorned with abundant regalia including the ornate crown with sirischakra on the reverse and a five-pronged keyura medallion at the center of his tall headdress.Shiva is dressed in a waist cloth secured by a central lion-face clasp with loops on either side, sporting a bahu-valaya (shoulder ornament) that drapes over the right shoulder and flails outwards towards the bicep. His primary right hand is lowered in varada mudra, the left in karana mudra clutching the sinuous body of a cobra, the secondary hands raised, one with an antelope, symbolizing the soul longing to reach Shivahood, and the other with an axe embodying his power to cut through fetters.Provenance: A private estate in Manhattan, New York, United States. Paul Anavian, New York. A private collection in the United Kingdom, acquired from the above. Paul Anavian is a second-generation dealer specializing in ancient and Islamic works of art. His father, Habib Anavian (1915-1995), came to the United States from Iran in the 1950s and founded the family business, now a staple gallery within the Manhattan Art & Antiques Center, of which Anavian now serves as the managing director.Condition: Very good condition with ancient wear and expected casting irregularities. Minor warping and tiny dings, small losses, some with associated old metal fills possibly inherent to the manufacture. The sirischakra reattached. The bronze with a fine, naturally grown, lustrous patina with patches of verdigris.Weight: 17.7 kgDimensions: Height 45.5 cmShiva is depicted here with youth and vigor. His arched back and broad shoulders manifest a powerful frame resembling the head of a bull - a Tamil Nadu aesthetic prescription that traces back to the 11th century (see Ramachandran Nagaswamy, Timeless Delight, Ahmedabad, 2006, p. 60). Literature comparison:Compare an earlier figure depicting the same subject, dated to the 9th century, 62 cm high, in the Government Museum, Chennai, accession number 81195.
