拍品描述 翻译
A RARE BLACK STONE STELE OF NARASIMHA VANQUISHING THE ASURA KING HIRANYAKASHIPU, PALA PERIOD, 12TH CENTURYBangladesh or eastern India. Exquisitely carved to depict Narasimha supporting and disemboweling the demon Hiranyakashipu who holds a dagger in his right hand, the raised secondary left arm with a disc. The ferocious avatar of Vishnu wears jewelry and garments of classic form, his wrathful leonine face framed by a broad mane and surmounted by a tall crown, all backed by a flaming nimbus. Provenance: Collection of Yvette Starck, Luxembourg, and thence by descent to Jacques Grosbusch, Luxembourg. A copy of a provenance statement, written and signed by Jacques Grosbusch, dated 31 July 2024, and confirming the above, accompanies this lot.Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, obvious losses, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, chips, nicks. Weight: 46.1 kg (incl. stand)Dimensions: Height 49 cm (excl. stand), 50.5 cm (incl. stand)With an associated metal stand. (2)The subject of Narasimha is a common trope in other schools of Indic sculpture. However, it is very rare within the Pala-Sena corpus, perhaps amounting to fewer than a dozen extant examples. This dynamic and powerful stele captures the moment when the Hindu god, Vishnu reveals himself in the guise of his ferocious half-lion, half-man form, known as Narasimha, to vanquish the asura king, Hiranyakashipu. After his brother, Hiranyaksha, was killed by the Vishnu's boar-form avatar, Varaha, Hiranyakashipu decided to seek vengeance and kill Vishnu. In order to achieve powers capable of defeating the god, Hiranyakashipu performed penance to the chief god, Brahma. Pleased by his worship, Brahma grants Hiranyakashipu the boon of his choice: that he cannot be killed by man or animal, that he cannot be killed inside or outside, day or night, on the ground or in the sky, by weapons animate or inanimate. With such a boon, Hiranyakashipu gains immeasurable power, and an accompanying sense of pride and arrogance.To Hiranyakashipu's dismay, however, his son Prahlad is a devoted follower of Vishnu and Hiranyakashipu grows so angry that he decides to strike down his son. As he moves to kill him, Vishnu, in the form of Narasimha, emerges from a pillar and destroys Hiranyakashipu. The present stele depicts the fateful moment at dusk (neither day nor night) when Narasimha (neither man nor animal) emerges from the pillar (neither inside nor outside), props the asura king up on his knee (neither on the ground nor in the sky), and disembowels him with his claws (weapons neither animate nor inanimate). As such, the story of Narasimha is a gruesome but instructive parable about arrogance and hubris.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related Pala black stone stele of Narasimha, dated circa 13th century, 40 cm high, in the Bangiya Sahitya Parishad, Kolkata, illustrated in the Virtual Museum of Images & Sounds, accession number D2823.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely relatedAuction: Bonhams New York, 17 September 2014, lot 93Estimate: USD 60,000 or approx.
