Carved Sandstone Jain Family Group, 6th-7th Century, Uttar Pradesh, India

About the Item

A fine and rare Indian carved sandstone stele of a Jain family group, Sarnath style, early Indian Medieval period, 6th-7th century, Uttar Pradesh, India. Carved from a single block of buff sandstone, the stele features a Jain family group comprised of a father, mother, and two children. The family group is portrayed upon a lotus pedestal under a tall palm tree. The mother and father both seated in a relaxed pose known as lalitasana, or royal ease pose, a jovial expression on their faces. The mother holds the daughter in her lap. The younger son scampers mischievously up the trunk of the palm tree, his head turned to look back at his parents. Above the family, nestled in a niche amongst the palm fronds, an image of a Jain Tirthankara has been carved. Below them is a register of carved figures depicted holding animals. For a larger, but otherwise very similar example, please see the one in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, access number M.77.49. Provenance: Ring Collection, Austin, TX Xanadu Gallery, San Francisco, 1999.

Large Bronze Dancing Shiva, Nataraja, 19th/20th Century, South India

Located in Austin, TX

A heavy and well cast South Indian bronze figure of Shiva Nataraja, or Shiva as Lord of the Dance, in the Chola style, late 19th or early 20th century, India. Shiva is portrayed here in his form as Nataraja, the Lord of the Dance. An iconic and powerful image, Shiva is portrayed engaged in his dance of creation, protection, and destruction, bringing together all his aspects into one sublime form.
