Procession with Horses, India, 12th Century

12th century

About the Item

A stone sculpture by an unknown Indian artist. "Procession with Horses, India, 12th Century" is a royal procession scene from a medieval, Indian temple. The central rider wears an embellished helmet, or crown, that is indicative of his royal status. He is accompanied on either side by two companions, both of whom turn to face him out of deference. On the frieze behind the riders, a throng of supporters watches the procession. The carver has conveyed a sense of depth both by placing the followers on a ledge behind the main figures and by making these secondary figures smaller in scale. While this technique lacks the sophistication of, for instance, classical Greco-Roman friezes, the artist still achieves a sense of depth and perspective while providing space in which to depict the horses and central figures in a voluminous manner. In addition, the carver reveals particular skill in the detail work on the horses’ saddles and harnesses and on the riders’ boots and armored leggings.
