• 8TH C. INDIAN PALA DYNASTY STONE
  8TH C. INDIAN PALA DYNASTY STONE RELIEF OF SURYA**Originally Listed At $6000** South Asia, India, Pala Dynasty, ca. 8th to 10th century. This stone stele depicts the deity Surya (the supreme light), the principle solar deity of Hinduism who also represents the Sun in India and Nepal, and is traditionally thought to perpetuate time by riding across the skies. Surya holds open lotus blossoms in each hand, as lotus flowers are associated with this solar deity, because they bloom in sunlight. Surya is also flanked by two of his attendants, one of whom is bearded, standing in a tribanga position and donning much jewelry, as well as miniature depictions of apsaras (heavenly figures). Surya is highly decorated in a manner fit for this deity, bedecked with an elaborate crown, a diaphanous robe, a floral pectoral, and flowing strands of pearls or garlands rippling over his body. The figures are carved in high relief against the stele with a decorative foliated border delineated in bas relief at the lower end of the stele. Size: 15" W x 27.375" H (38.1 cm x 69.5 cm); 33.375" H (84.8 cm) on included custom stand. According to the Victoria and Albert Museum, "Worship of the sun in an anthropomorphic form was probably introduced to India from ancient Iran. In medieval Hinduism Surya was sometimes identified with Vishnu, whose origins appear to be as a sun deity, the memory of which is preserved in his flaming wheel (cakra) and his vehicle, the sun bird Garuda."
