A RED SANDSTONE FIGURE OF VISHNU INDIA, MADHYA PRADESH OR RAJASTHAN, 11TH-12TH CENTURY 28 ? in. (73 cm.) high
The present figure wears a diaphanous dhoti decorated with foliate swags, a meditation string draped across his shoulder, a floral srivatsa in relief on his chest and a tapered headdress decorated with scrolling foliage and curls of hair extending down to the shoulders. The remaining part of a floral garland around the shoulders and the diamond-shaped srivatsa mark on the chest suggest a probable identification of Vishnu; compare another example in the Norton Simon Museum, illustrated in P. Pal, Art from the Indian Subcontinent, 2003, p. 136, cat. no. 94.
