Item Details

Description

Originally listed at $850...

Central Asia, India, Karnataka (southwestern part of subcontinent), ca. 17th to 18th century CE. A wonderful wood panel depicting the relief of an erotic temple dancer, carefully hand-carved to display a slender waist, voluptuous breasts, and a sensual pose with her left arm on her hip, her right arm raised, and her head tilted to one side. Scantily clad, she wears fabric around her waist that hangs low, with a garland terminating in a flower in a suggestive location. This panel may have been part of a chariot, sometimes known as a ratha, that in southern India is still used in Hindu temple festivals. These tall, domed chariots are decorated extensively with painted wooden carvings and are pulled by horses or elephants. Size: 5.3" W x 13.5" H (13.5 cm x 34.3 cm); 14.4" H (36.6 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection, 1995 to 2010; ex-Harmer Rooke Gallery
