SOUTH INDIA, TAMIL NADU, VIJAYANAGARA PERIOD, 15TH CENTURY15 1/2 in. (39.3 cm) high
注脚
This bronze's simplified treatment of the jewelry, facial type, and base compare favorably with a Sri-Devi in the Ford Collection, see Pal, Indo-Asian Art, Tokyo, 1971, no.19, and a Chandikesvara published in Sivaramamurti, South Indian Bronzes, New Delhi, 1963, pl.73b. The distinctive three-tier sashes that fall down her thighs and her robust form follow conventions common in Vijayanagara sculpture, as exemplified by a Kaliya-Krishna (Ibid., pl.83b) and a Cosmic Form of Krishna in the Norton Simon Museum (Pal, Art from the Indian Subcontinent, Pasadena, 2003, p.275, no.199).Provenance Jaipaul Galleries, Philadelphia, 1970sPrivate Philadelphia Collection, 1970s–2014 Sotheby's, New York, 19 March 2014, lot 45
