12th C. Majapahit Stone Hanuman Figure Monkey-Form

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $3500**

Southeast Asia, Indonesia, the island of Java, Majapahit Empire, ca. 1293 to 1527 CE. A charming sculpture, a large Hanuman figure in the form of a monkey kneeling on a platform, his hands raised to support an offering bowl. Carved from a grey volcanic stone, the figure has weathered to an interestingly textured surface. Hanuman has a delightful countenance, with a long snout that rests on his portly torso, deeply incised eyes and mouth. His round ears bulge outward behind his raised paws. Size: 4.55" L x 4.1" W x 12.5" H (11.6 cm x 10.4 cm x 31.8 cm)

During the later Majapahit Empire, the buildings of East Java - both religious and secular - were decorated with dramatic figural sculptures in stone and terracotta. Many of the remaining sculptures display characters from the great Hindu epic Ramayana, including Hanuman, who often plays a major role. Hanuman's mystical qualities seem to have particularly beguiled the people of East Java, who depict him in a great detail in their art, emphasizing the Tantric themes of the god's story. For example, at the Panataran, a large Hindu temple complex (now ruined) in East Java, and the favorite sanctuary of the Majapahit King Hayam Wuruk, Hanuman plays a central role in the many reliefs still visible on its walls. These depict his role in reuniting Rama with his wife Sita after her imprisonment by the demon king Rahwana. The artisan who carved this offering bowl would have been channeling this powerful story.
