Item Details
Description
**Originally Listed At $650**

South Asia, India, ca. 19th century CE. A wonderful antique wood relief carving of a Hindu deity with a brightly painted surface. The god stands on an ornate ledge with one foot resting on the head of a bird, likely a peacock. He is ornately adorned, with clothing flowing to the sides, as he holds two ovoid objects, possibly bells. Jewelry embellishes his ankles, wrists, arms, neck, and ears, and a crown is set at the top of his rounded head. The face is detailed with large eyes as well as a prominent nose, and the painted surfaces of the skin and clothing have traces of white pigment, symbolic of purity. Floral motifs appear above the head as well as a shikhara spire, part of Hindu temple architecture. The orange and red pigments add vibrancy to this dynamic portrayal of this god. Size: 6.125" W x 23" H (15.6 cm x 58.4 cm)

This relief may represent the Hindu god, Kartikeya, also known as Muruga, and Skanda, the Hindu god of war who is often depicted with a rooster or a peacock.
