- Lot Description
<i>This lot is oversized / heavy and will require 3rd party shipping - please inquire before bidding. </i><br><br>South Asia, Central India, Khajuraho region, ca. 900 to 1200 CE. A high-relief sandstone panel depicting the Brahmanical Triad, accompanied by a female consort, possibly Saraswati. The Brahmanical Triad, or Trimurti - Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva - represents the supreme trinity of Hinduism, with Brahma as the creator, Vishnu as the preserver, and Shiva as the destroyer/transformer. Here, three faces are visible: one facing forward and two in profile, capturing the triad's divine unity. The figures lean into each other intimately, with the consort's arm around the deity's shoulder and his hand resting on her breast. This panel likely adorned a temple or shrine. Size: 13" L x 4.5" W x 23" H (33 cm x 11.4 cm x 58.4 cm).
The Trimurti, meaning 3 forms, is considered the trinity of supreme divinity in Hinduism, in which the cosmic functions of creation, maintenance, and destruction are personified as Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, respectively. Starting in the 8th century CE, Hindus dedicated temples to the Trimurti - the most famous include the Baroli Trimurti Temple, the Elephanta Caves, the Mithrananthapuram Trimurti Temple, the Prambanan Trimurti Temple, Savadi Trimurti Temple, and Thripaya Trimurti Temple.
