Description: A Bronze Figure of a Tamil Saint, Tamil Nadu, South India, 18th century, seated in sattvasana,on a lotus on rectangular base, his hands in abhaya mudra, and holding a book, the number 52 stamped on the underside, 7.7cm (3in) high.Provenance: Collection of the Late Andrew Solomon, London, inv. no. A50. Purchased from Jack Stanley, 30 January 1971.Andrew Solomon writes in his notes: 'Mr. Zwalf of the BM suggested in might possibly have been in the Edward Moore Collection which is mostly now in the BM- the stamped numbers suggest this. Moore published a book in 1810, The Hindu Pantheon, Mr. Z said it was better than many pieces in the collection'. It can certainly be said that the quality of workmanship in this bronze is of the very highest standard.
