A LARGE AND IMPORTANT SILVER-INLAID BRASS FIGURE OF VISHNU JANARDANA, ORISSA, 16TH CENTURY

Eastern India. Superbly cast, standing in samabhanga on a circular plinth supported on a lotus pedestal raised on a cylindrical stem atop a domed base, his principal hands lowered and clasped around a lotus bud and club, the secondary hands raised and holding a chakra and shankha.

Dressed in a loincloth with tassels to one side, the deity is simply adorned, his neck and chest neatly incised with a foliate pendant hanging from a necklace. The face with a remarkably powerful expression, marked by large almond-shaped eyes neatly inlaid in silver, an aquiline nose, and gently pursed lips, all flanked by large ears with perforated lobes, the hair finely incised with scroll-like curls and tied in a small topknot.

Provenance: Ma?tre Guy Loudmer, Paris, 26 June 1995, lot 61. A private collection in France, acquired from the above. This lot is accompanied by a copy of a certificate of authenticity, written and signed by Guy Loudmer, no. 1319, dated 24 July 1995, confirming the provenance above, attached to an old photograph of the present lot. Guy Loudmer (d. 2019) was a prominent French auctioneer, nicknamed the 'Patton' of the French Compagnie des Commissaires-Priseurs (Auctioneers Association).
Condition: Good condition with significant ancient wear as expected, issuing mostly from extensive worship within the culture, and casting irregularities. Wear, rubbing, minuscule losses, minor warping, scattered dents, nicks, and scratches. The bronze with a fine, naturally grown, smooth patina.

Weight: 34.1 kg (incl. stand)
Dimensions: Height 70.5 cm (excl. stand), 76 cm (incl. stand)

Mounted on an ingeniously crafted revolving base, allowing for the statue to be turned around, despite its significant weight of 34 kilograms. (2)

Janardana is an epithet of Vishnu in the Puranas. Janardana means, ‘he who is the original abode and protector of all living beings’. His main shrine is the Janardanaswamy temple situated in Varkala. In the Mahabharata, Sanjaya uses this epithet of Vishnu to describe the latter's prowess to King Dhritarashtra:

“You askest me repeatedly, O king, about the Pandavas for knowing their strength and weakness. Listen now to all that in brief. If the whole universe be placed on one scale and Janardana on the other, even then Janardana will outweigh the entire universe. Janardana, at his pleasure, can reduce the universe to ashes, but the entire universe is incapable of reducing Janardana to ashes. Wherever there is truthfulness, wherever virtue, wherever modesty, wherever simplicity, even there is Govinda. And thither where Krishna is, success must be. That soul of all creatures, most exalted of male beings, Janardana, guides, as if in sport, the entire earth, the firmament, and the heaven.”

—?Vyasa, Mahabharata, Section LXVIII
