About the Item

This antique Indian sandstone Apsara statue is an extraordinary and rare piece of sacred art, dating back to the 13th–14th century and originating from the culturally rich region of Madhya Pradesh, India. Carved from solid sandstone, the statue stands a total of 77.5 cm high, with the figure itself measuring 68 cm in height and the base spanning 37 cm wide by 21.5 cm deep. Weighing 29.3 kilograms, this ancient sculpture has a commanding presence and a deeply rooted spiritual and historical significance. Apsaras—known as “the dancers of the gods”—are celestial maidens celebrated in Hindu and Buddhist mythology for their beauty, grace, and divine artistry. This particular piece captures the elegance and fluidity of the Apsara's form, likely once adorning a temple or sacred site. With exquisite detailing that has withstood centuries, it embodies the aesthetic and devotional spirit of medieval Indian sculpture. An external valuation report is available upon request, adding further provenance and value to this exceptional artifact. Ideal for collectors, museums, or serious connoisseurs of South Asian art, this statue is a timeless testament to India’s spiritual and artistic legacy.
