- Lot Description
Ancient Central Asia, Pakistan, India, and Afghanistan, Gandharan Empire, ca. 3rd to 5th century CE. A lovely architectural fragment of a hefty form, hand-carved from silvery-gray schist, that depicts the deities Krishna and Radha along with a couple of zoomorphs. The lowest figure is the god Krishna - with a mustachioed face and a spherical top knot - who stretches forward while balancing atop a recumbent elephant that lays on top of a tiered plinth. Krishna holds both arms up beneath the forelegs of a large creature, perhaps the horse demon Keshi, to halt its wild movements. Krishna's beloved, Radha, stands nude atop the beast with her left knee raised and her right arm behind her head. The entire scene is surrounded by vertical borders, and the inverted body and head of a second beast lays - perhaps deceased - above the deities. Size: 5.25" W x 9.875" H (13.3 cm x 25.1 cm)
Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010
