Item Details
Description
DEITY WITH TRIDENT. Yellow bronze. India, Bastar, 19th/20th cent. HEIGHT 19,5 CM
Bastar bronze of a standing deity, holding a trident. This depiction is usually orientated frontally, and apart from the attributes in the hands, completely symmetrical. Bronzes from indigenous Bastar tribes were always cult-related, and crafted by specialized bronze-founders who travelled the land. The Baster region lies in the southernmost part of Madhya Pradesh, in Southeast- Central India.​​​ Old genuine bronze items from this region are becoming increasingly rare and hard to find in India, as it was customary for tribes to melt old bronzes together in order to craft new ones. The quite juvenile and childish appearance of this tribal authenticity presents a special appeal to us!
