A COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF ADIKARA NANDI
TAMIL NADU, NAYAK PERIOD, 17TH CENTURY 20 in. (50.8 cm) high
注脚
With his primary hands in anjali mudra and his secondary hands holding an antelope (mrga) and a battle-axe (parasu), this crisply-detailed casting represents Adhikara Nandi, a form of Shiva's bull mount. He wears a short lower garment secured at his waist with an elaborate jeweled girdle, and his hair is arranged in a tall jatamukuta. Closely related examples of an eight-armed Virabhadra and a four-armed Kankalamurti in the Madras Government Museum share similar coiffures, facial types, trailing tassels, and projecting scarf ends (Srinivasan, Bronzes of South India, Madras, 1963, pl.CXCIV, nos.336 & 337). Also compare a large sculpture of Adhikara Nandi from Thanjavur preserved in the same museum (634/68). Provenance Xanadu Gallery, San Francisco, 9 August 2003 Private Collection, California
