Title: Chaturbhuja Vishnu with Elaborate Prabhavali - Bronze Sculpture Description: This bronze, a contemporary artifact but reminiscent of the classical tradition of the ninth-tenth century South Indian bronzes cast in exact idiom of Chola and Chalukyan bronzes, one of the toughest mediums but yielding soft stone like details, precise and technically well accomplished, represents Lord Vishnu – one of the Trio-gods of Hindu pantheon, other two being Brahma and Shiva, in his Chaturbhuja – four-armed manifestation. The image, standing straight in the commander’s posture, abounds in a king’s majesty though not without the divine aura of the deity. An outstanding example of India's centuries old tradition of metal-casting, continuing incessant, the image reveals same quality, iconographic perfection, zeal for details, purity of form, embellishment in such degree as essential, elegance and finish, emotional bearing, and commitment to scriptural tradition – all as revealed the best of Chola or Pala bronzes. Like these early bronzes in which a figure was gesticulated for revealing an emotional bearing or a motive, this contemporary image has been made to reveal a commander’s readiness, formidability and a determined mind to attend to and resolve any emergency .
