| 19th Century Antique Indian Sculpture from Orissa in Excellent Condition. 12 inches, 31 cm. The state of Orissa, the land of temples, is in the southeast coast of India, and is known for its rich heritage in art and architecture. Over the centuries, the creative genius of the Orissan sculptors found expression in numerous beautiful images, which can vie with the best works made anywhere. The sculptural images of Orissa display one of the most distinctive regional styles of India. The study of this style is particularly rewarding as there is continuous sculptural activity in the region, spanning over a period of hundreds of years for each of the three major religions, i.e. Jainism, Buddhism and Hinduism. The style is characterized by the overall clarity and consistency of its evolving iconographic program. This piece was likely used in a procession. | ||
