EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite architectural bracket, dating back to the 16th century, showcases the rich artistic heritage of Asia during this period. The intricately carved sandstone figure depicts a celestial musician, dressed in traditional clothing of the time. The musician is adorned with elaborate jewelry and a striking headdress, complete with a nose ring, adding to the grandeur of the sculpture. The bracket, originating from either Gujarat or Rajasthan in India, displays the influence of Hindu and Islamic art. The celestial musician is depicted playing an instrument, possibly a lute or a veena, suggesting a connection to music and the celestial realm. The close-up image reveals the intricate details of the carving, with each fabric fold and ornamental detail beautifully rendered. The clothing and accessories of the musician are reminiscent of the fashion of the time, providing a glimpse into the past. This celestial musician figurine is a testament to the artistic prowess of the artisans of the 16th century, who created such intricate works of art using their skilled hands. The bracket was once a part of an architectural structure, possibly a temple or a palace, and now stands as a valuable piece of decorative art in its own right. The image, taken in a studio setting, highlights the beauty and intricacy of the carving, making it a prized addition to any art collection. The celestial musician bracket is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of South East Asia and the influence it has had on the world's artistic traditions.
