India: a stone relief depicting the Hindu god Vishnu, his wife Lakshmi and the bird of the gods Garuda.
An old sacred Indian relief, very finely crafted from dark grey stone. It depicts the four-armed Hindu god Vishnu (the ‘protector’) with a tall, godlike crown and his associated symbols (wheel, club, snail, lotus). His wife, the goddess Lakshmi, stands to his left on top of a tortoise, his mythical steed, the bird of the gods Garuda (below), stands to his right. A very charming, relatively small object with clear remains of red sacrificial paste.
Height: c. 23 cm; width: c. 14 cm. 18th/19th century or earlier. (ME)
