A BRASS FIGURE OF KHANDOBA, INDIA, DECCAN, 18TH CENTURY

Well cast in four detachable pieces, the four-armed deity sitting atop his saddled and bridled steed on a stepped rectangular pedestal incised with cross-hatched, lappet, and grass designs. Khandoba is holding his attributes including the sword and trident. His head is surmounted by a conical headdress. The horse’s mane and tail are neatly incised. The elaborate mandorla is incised with petal-lappets below the open worked arch with scrolling nagas centered by a twisting cobra supporting a kirtimukha.

Khandoba is a male Hindu deity of Southern and Western India who is still widely worshipped in Maharashtra and regarded as the guardian deity of the Deccan. He was originally depicted with the head of a dog, and vestiges of this remain in his worship to this day. His usual attributes are a sword, a trident, and a drum. His vehicle (vahana) is a horse and he may also be shown associated with a dog. The foremost center of Khandoba worship is the temple of Jejuri in Maharashtra. The legends of Khandoba, found in the text Malhari Mahatmya and also narrated in folk songs, revolve around his victory over demons Mani-malla and his marriages.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related brass figure of Khandoba on a horse, 37.8 cm high, dated to the 18th century, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 2008.645.2a, b.
