• 10TH C. INDIAN RAJASTHAN RELIEF
  10TH C. INDIAN RAJASTHAN RELIEF LION, ELEPHANT, CONSORT...South Asia, India, Rajasthan, ca. 10th to 13th century CE. A remarkable figural relief sculpture, meticulously carved from sandstone to depict a lion, an elephant, and a female consort. Posed as if climbing up the wall, the ferocious feline looks back over its shoulder to face left as the comparably petite elephant stands below it, wearing a slender headband and also gazing left. The sensual consort or apsara stands to the right, displaying a slender, scantily clad body with voluptuous breasts. She holds an object in both hands and gazes downward, her heavenly visage framed by elongated ears, bulbous earrings, and an elaborate coiffure, as collar necklaces adorn her chest. A special example from Rajasthan, in northeastern India, which has a unique artistic tradition that is rarely seen in Western collections. Size: 8.6" W x 17.4" H (21.8 cm x 44.2 cm); 20.2" H (51.3 cm) on included custom stand. Surviving ancient reliefs and carvings from monuments, religious sites, tombs, and palaces - being some of the most durable forms of art - inform us about the beliefs of ancient peoples throughout the world and human history. How remarkable that virtually all cultures have felt the need to express their creative sides in this vein. According to Pushkar Sohoni in "Old fights, new meanings: Lions and elephants in combat" (Res: Anthropology and aesthetics 2016/2017, vol. 67-68: 225-234 pp.), "For over a millennium in South Asia, the visual trope of a triumphant lion vanquishing one or several elephants has been common in architectural sculpture, both in the round and in relief... In the rather limited scholarship on this motif, diverse interpretations have been offered. Although its presence has remained fairly stable through time, there exist many minor variations on this motif, including the use of leonine creatures variously described as vyalas or yalis, and the incorporation of other fantastic creatures known popularly as makaras in such combats. In South India, the myth of the fantastic composite animal called the Sarabha takes this imagery yet further. Yet, the simple image of a lion victorious over one or more elephants was situated very strategically within certain architectural programs for given periods and places." Cf. Figures 1, 4, and 6 in Sohoni, Pushkar, "Old fights, new meanings: Lions and elephants in combat" (Res: Anthropology and aesthetics 2016/2017, vol. 67-68: 225-234 pp.).
