• Lot n° 213 EARLY STANDING BRONZE VISHNU 7TH CENTURY INDIA GUPTA PERIOD Dimensions: Height 27 cm Wide 18 cm Depth 9 cm without base Weight: 2914 grams with base Finely cast bronze represents Vishnu, the Hindu preserver deity, standing in samhabhanga (frontal stance) with straight legs and symmetrical posture, radiating divine authority and calm. The four-armed deity holds his traditional attributes: A chakra (discus) in the upper left A conch (shankha) in the lower left A mace (gada) in the uper right hand A Lotus in the lower right hand Vishnu is adorned with a short dhoti, sacred thread (yajnopavita), elaborate necklaces, armlets, and a tall cylindrical kirita mukuta (crown). The face, though worn, preserves the classic oval form and serene expression associated with Gupta art. Flanking Vishnu are two graceful female attendants or consorts, likely Shri-Devi (Lakshmi) and Bhu-Devi, each standing in elegant tribhanga posture with dynamic hip sway, and adorned similarly in tight saris and ornate jewelry. Their gestures and tilted heads add a gentle rhythm to the composition. The backplate (prabhavali) is especially elaborate, featuring stylized makaras (mythical sea creatures) and Yalis, as well as intricate floral and geometric motifs—elements typical of Gupta-period visual vocabulary. The deep circular aureole frames the deity’s head, reinforcing his divine radiance. This work exemplifies the late Gupta sculptural style, noted for its combination of naturalistic grace and spiritual idealism. The Gupta Empire, a period often regarded as a classical golden age of Indian art, saw the refinement of Hindu iconography in stone and bronze.
