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.
