A PINK SANDSTONE RELIEF OF VAISHNAVI, VARAHI, INDRANI AND CHAMUNDA, PRATIHARA DYNASTY, 8TH-9TH CENTURYCentral India. Deeply carved to depict four Mother Goddesses, with the four-armed Vaishnavi holding a chakra, gada, and conch; the boar-headed Varahi holding a rod, skull-cup, sickle, and pestle, a diminutive buffalo to her feet; Indrani clutching a goad, water pot, and a fruit (bijapura), her elephant vahana Airavata resting by her feet; and Chamunda standing atop a male corpse (preta), biting a finger while her other hands clutch a mace, kapala, and axe. Each figure is standing atop a lotus pedestal, dressed in diaphanous dhotis, and generously adorned with foliate jewelry, all framed by large foliate nimbuses.Provenance: Collection of Guy Maréchal, Belgium, and thence by direct descent to his son Olivier Maréchal. Guy Maréchal (1949-2025) was a Belgian entrepreneur whose unconventional industrial and financial career laid the groundwork for the formation of his Asian art collection. After beginning his professional life as an officer in the Belgian army, he went on to achieve significant success as an independent insurance broker. In the mid-1990s and early 2000s, Maréchal redirected his expertise toward the Asian art market. He sourced works directly in China and India, particularly in Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, supplying French auction houses. Following a major health event in 2006, Guy Maréchal withdrew from commercial activity to become an author and public speaker. He published several works, including Rescapé de la Mort, recounting his recovery after a 51-day coma. Olivier Maréchal (b. 1973) is a noted Belgian collector and dealer specializing in the arts of India, Vietnam, and Thailand. He began his career in the mid-1990s, learning from his father who helped him with his first purchases. He later managed Surya Gallery in Brussels, Belgium.Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Wear, obvious losses, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, minor structural fissures, nicks, scratches, small chips, some with associated minor old repairs.Weight: 106 kg Dimensions: Size 62 x 91 cmIn early Indian sculpture, including during the Kushan period, the matrikas were initially represented as ferocious and dangerous, often shown eating children. In later traditions, such as in the present relief, they come to represent protective motherly deities and became associated with the cults of Shiva and his son, Skanda. In some traditions, such as the Devi Mahatmya, the matrikas are borne out of Durga's struggle with the demon, Mahishasura; taking on the attributes of their associated male deities, the matrikas help to defeat the demon armies of Mahishasura. Following in this tradition, each matrika can usually be identified by certain iconographic attributes, such as the implements they carry or their vahanas (mounts), corresponding to those of their male aspect. The Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty, also known as the Pratihara Empire, played a significant role in the history of Rajasthan. The Gurjara-Pratiharas emerged as a prominent power in North India during the 6th century AD. It is generally believed that they originated from the Gurjar community, and their early dominance was centered around present-day Rajasthan and Gujarat. The Gurjara-Pratiharas expanded their rule in Rajasthan, with their capital located in Mandore, near present-day Jodhpur. They established control over much of Rajasthan, including the region of Marwar. The dynasty reached its zenith under King Bhoja (836-885 AD). During his reign, the empire extended into central and northern India, and the arts and culture also flourished.The artistic tradition of the Khajuraho temples is rooted in the architectural and iconographic framework established during the Pratihara period, under whose political influence the Chandella rulers initially emerged. As former Pratihara feudatories, the Chandellas inherited the Nagara temple vocabulary and sculptural conventions of this period, which they subsequently refined and expanded after achieving independence. The monuments at Khajuraho thus represent the mature culmination of late Pratihara artistic principles, developed into a distinctive Chandella style characterized by heightened plasticity, dense ornamentation, and an increased emphasis on Tantric and Shakta imagery.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related sandstone relief of the four Saptamatrika: Vaishnavi, Varahi, Indrani, and Chamunda, Pratihara period, dated c. 8th-9th century, 112 cm wide, in the Kannauj Museum, and exhibited at Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels, Corps de l'Inde, October 2013-January 2014.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's New York, 18 September 2013, lot 221Price: USD 81,250 or approx.
