拍品描述
Description:A RED SANDSTONE HEAD OF NARASIMHA, THE MAN-LION AVATAR OF VISHNU, LATE GUPTA
India, Uttar Pradesh, Mathura, mid-6th century. The head well carved with bulging eyes centered by a short snout, the mouth open revealing fangs, the hair parted in the center.

Provenance: From a noted private collection in New York City, USA. Thence by descent within the same family.
Condition: Excellent condition, commensurate with age, as expected with some wear, losses, nicks, signs of weathering and erosion.

Weight: 4,653 g (incl. base)
Dimensions: Height 15.5 cm (excl. base) and 27.8 cm (incl. base)

Narasimha is clearly identified by his human-like styled hair, which would be quite odd for a lion. He is a fierce avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu, one who incarnates in the form of half lion and half man, bound to destroy evil and to end religious persecution on Earth, thereby restoring Dharma.

Literature comparison: Compare a related red sandstone statue of Narasimha, with a similar head and human-like styled hair, in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, accession number M.81.90.20.
