A GRAY SCHIST BUST OF VISHNU, KASHMIR, 8TH-9TH CENTURYA superb example of its type, expressively carved and harmoniously balancing clarity of form with refined detail. The deity holds a lotus in his primary right hand; the chest is adorned with delicately rendered beaded jewelry and armlets, and a garland falls gracefully across the shoulders. The rounded face is composed, with almond-shaped eyes beneath finely arched brows, framed by orderly rows of matted tresses gathered into an ornate headdress. The figure is set against a circular nimbus encircled by a beaded band, completing the dignified and cohesive composition.Provenance: Property from the Nitta Group Collection, acquired by Nitta Muneichi in the 1950s-1960s.
