INDIA. Fragment of a beige sandstone stele, standing tribhanga assistant holding a fly swatter. He is accompanied by a horseman, an ascetic mendicant and a man carrying a sword. At his feet, a woman, possibly the patron, kneels in a devotional position. These iconographies suggest that this fragment belonged to a large stele of Vishnu Vishvarupa, with the assistant as one of its personified attributes (missing and restored). Medieval period, 10th-13th century. Height Height : 34.5 cm Expert : Madame Alice Jossaume
