Item Details

Description

3rd-5th century AD. A carved schist frieze fragment depicting a standing kilted guard, bare-chested with right hand resting on the hilt of his scabbarded sword; mounted on a custom-made stand. 4.4 kg, 42.5cm (16 3/4"). From a private UK collection; acquired before 1980. In Hinduism and Buddhism it is common to see a pair of guardian figures to the doorway of a temple. These are known as Dvarapala and the name literally means gate protector. They possibly derive from minor village deities whose primary function was to protect the village from supernatural harm. As formal Hinduism and Buddhism developed and spread they absorbed the local deities and amalgamated them by having them carry out the same functions as protectors. The examples from Gandhara typically show the demi-gods in the clothes of Classical soldiers thus displaying the unique fusion of Greek and Indian culture from the area.
