EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century artwork depicts the Yantra of the Goddess Pratyangira, a protective deity revered in Hinduism, particularly in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. The recto side of the print showcases the intricate circular design of the Yantra, with the Goddess Pratyangira at its center. Surrounding her are various symbols and deities, each contributing to her protective powers. The complex design is executed in opaque watercolor and gold on paper, adding to its grandeur. The verso side of the print reveals a simpler symbol, perhaps representing the protective nature of the Goddess Pratyangira. The cloth backing suggests that this artwork was once part of a larger textile or temple banner. The exact origin of this artwork is unknown, but it is believed to date between 1700 and 1750. The intricate design and use of gold indicate a high level of skill and craftsmanship. The artwork's provenance is Gujarat, India, a region known for its rich artistic heritage in Hinduism. The Yantra of the Goddess Pratyangira was used for protection and to ward off evil. The concept of Yantras is deeply rooted in Hinduism, where symbols and diagrams are believed to have spiritual power. This artwork is a testament to the complexity and variety of Hindu religious art and the enduring influence of Hinduism in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia.
