Ancient Indian Terracotta Yakshi Votive Plaque

Item Details

Description

India, Shunga Period, ca. 2nd to 1st century BCE. This is a mold-made terracotta plaque showing the goddess Yakshi (also known as Yakshini) in relief. The figure has the voluptuous form, especially in the hips and stance, of all depictions of the goddess. The Shunga period is notable for a flowering of artistic creation, especially of small terracotta images like this one. One of the most famous works of art from this period is the Great Stupa at Sanchi, in Madhya Pradesh, central India, whose four thirty-five foot high gateways are decorated with images of fertility spirits exactly like this yakshi. Size: 3.6" W x 6" H (9.1 cm x 15.2 cm)

Provenance: ex-New York collection.

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.

We ship worldwide to most countries and handle all shipping in-house for your convenience.

Condition

The piece is a fragment of a plaque, but the goddess herself is completely shown, with clear detail and minor wear.
