A SOUTHERN INDIAN POLYCHROME WOOD
A SOUTHERN INDIAN POLYCHROME WOOD SCULPTURE OF A DANCIN...A SOUTHERN INDIAN POLYCHROME WOOD SCULPTURE OF A DANCING FIGURE, ATTRIBUTED TO KARNATAKA, 18TH/19TH CENTURY, the multi-tiered crown issuing a peacock sarpech hair ornament, joined by a mirror inlaid medallion hair jewel to a pearl strand nose piercing, sumptuous curls lay in dark strands over a serene downcast gaze, pendulant earlobes hung with heavy discs; she is entranced by celestial rhythmic drumming, right hand holds a mallet, ready to strike the elaborately banded drum, swinging from a braided rope, full breasts divided by a rhythmically beaded breastplate, over a softly rendered belly, hips adorned with exquisite beading and feathers, jewel bangled arms and ankles appear to rise upward, over her pointed toes, flanked by adorsed peacocks and carved entirely in the round with traces of vibrant teals, blues, greens, yellow orange and red paint remnants. Note: The figure likely modeled after the Salabhanjika (Shilabalika) or Madanakai, celestial maidens, found at the Chennakeshava Temple of Belur. The present sculpture perpetuates a visual tradition of graceful, young female representations. The Chennakeshava Temple, also called Keshava, Kesave or the Vijayanarayana Temple of Belur was originally built in the Hassan district of the Karnataka State, India, during the 12th century. The temple was commissioned by King Vishnuvardhana in 1117 AD on the banks of the Yagachi River, called Velapura, an early Hoysala Empire (1026-1343) capital. The temple is profusely decorated with scenes of secular life including dancers and musicians, as well as the pictorial narration of sacred Hindu texts such as Ramayana, the Mahabharata and the Puranas within the friezes. In the 18th and 19th centuries various repairs and restorations occurred. Height: 78" Width: 30" Depth: 16"
