UTTAR PRADESH, CIRCA 12TH CENTURY
Sandstone

NON-EXPORTABLE REGISTERED ANTIQUITY

PROVENANCE
Property of a Distinguished Gentleman, Mumbai

This buff sandstone carving from Central India shows a bejewelled torso. By the 12th century, there was a stylistic shift away from restraint to greater ornamentation. The deep relief carving is especially striking for the organic and fluid realism it imparts to the stone with the intricate detailing of necklaces. An armband with floral motifs adorns the bicep.
