- Lot Description
Central Asia, eastern India, Bengal, Chandraketugarh, ca. 2nd century BCE to 1st century CE. A mold-formed pottery plaque depicting a goddess known as a Yakshi (or Yakshini), a semi-divine deity who is regarded as a nature spirit as well as an attendee of Kubera, the Hindu god of wealth. The figure is defined by her voluptuous chest centered between two bent arms, one of which bearing enormous wrist bands and both bedecked in raised dots indicative of jewels or other finery, and grand concentric circular earrings rest above an intricate necklace replete with hanging cones. Ovoid eyes, a triangular nose, full lips, and a puffy chin constitute her serene visage, and her brow is capped with an elaborate headdress bearing dozens of small jewels. Further raised dots encircle the outer periphery and surround the goddess with an opulent framework. A rare example from ancient India! Custom museum-quality display stand included. Size: 4" W x 4.5" H (10.2 cm x 11.4 cm); 7.1" H (18 cm) on included custom stand.
For an example of a mold used to make figural plaques like this one, please see the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology, University of Oxford, accession number EA1993.35: http://collections.ashmolean.org/object/357340
