EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century Yoga-Narasimha sculpture showcases the Man-Lion Avatar of Vishnu in a yogic posture, a rare representation of the deity in Hinduism. The copper alloy figurine, hailing from South East Asia or India, depicts Vishnu in the form of Narasimha, a powerful and fierce manifestation, with the head and claws of a lion and the body of a human. The deity is shown in a cross-legged position, with one leg tucked under the body and the other extended, and his arms folded in front of his chest. A strap is wrapped around his waist, a common feature in yogic practices. The intricate details of the sculpture reveal the skillful craftsmanship of the unknown artist, with delicate lines and precise forms. The rich, vibrant colors of the patina add to the sculpture's allure and make it a stunning addition to any collection of Asian or Hindu art. This rare piece, now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of South Asia and the enduring influence of Hinduism on world religions.
