拍品描述: Description A RARE 'MITHUNA' STELE OF A LOVING COUPLE, ORISSA, 13TH CENTURY Carved and engraved buff-to-reddish colored sandstone. Once part of the subsidiary decoration of a temple facade, the figures of this bejeweled couple embrace while peering rapturously into the observer’ eyes. Their full bodies and broad, detailed features are characteristic of architectural sculptures produced in thirteenth-century Orissa, a region in northeast India that was noted for its temples, particularly those built from the tenth through the thirteenth century, often distinguished by figures in astonishingly curved, acrobatic and erotic poses. Couples such as this pair are understood to have multiple meanings, ranging from an obvious celebration of life’s pleasures to the more metaphorical symbolism of a human soul’s longing for union with the divine. Provenance: Spink & Son LTD, London. An English collector, by repute acquired from the above between c. 1980 and 1990. Condition: Absolutely original condition with weathering, wear and occasional losses as visible on the images at . Overall superb state of preservation, especially given the age of this statue! Weight: 24 kg (including the base) Dimensions: Height 57 cm (the statue) and 64 cm (with the base) A Hindu temple was often envisioned as the world’s central axis, in the form of a mountain inhabited by a god. The temple itself was therefore worshipped. This was done by circumambulation (walking around the exterior, in this case in a counterclockwise direction) and by viewing its small inner sanctum. The outside of the temple was usually covered with myriad reliefs: some portrayed aspects of the god within or related deities, others represented the mountain’s mythological inhabitants. From the earliest times on, iconic representations of deities and holy figures were augmented by auspicious images, such as beautiful women, musicians, and loving couples (mithunas). Associated modern base. (2) Auction result comparison: Compare with a closely related statue at Sotheby’s New York in Indian and Southeast Asian Works of Art, 19 March 2008, lot 277, sold for USD $17,500.
