A LARGE BRONZE FIGURE OF PARVATI, SOUTH INDIA, LATE VIJAYANAGARA PERIOD, 16TH-17TH CENTURY Finely cast, the goddess standing in an elegant tribhanga upon a circular lotus pedestal raised on a waisted square plinth, her right hand raised to hold the stem of a lotus, and the left arm extended alongside the body. She is clad in a long dhoti finely incised throughout with circular floral motifs and secured at the waist by an elaborate girdle with pendent sashes. Her voluptuous body is richly adorned with layered necklaces, armlets, bracelets, snake-form anklets, and large makara-form earrings. The sensitively modeled face bears a serene expression, with elongated almond-shaped eyes beneath arched brows, a slender nose, and full lips forming a subtle smile, surmounted by a tall, multi-tiered conical headdress intricately worked with bands of foliate and geometric ornament. Dimensions: Height 62.5 cm The Vijayanagara style was greatly influenced by the preceding Chola Dynasty, famed for its extravagant temples and naturalistic, vibrant bronzes. While later Vijayanagara bronzes are similar to those of the Chola Period, the Vijayanagara figures are slightly more stylized. Vijayanagara bronzes are known for their sharp delineations between sections of the body, evinced here by the dramatically narrow waist separating the chest and abdomen. Additionally, the large wide eyes and sharp narrow nose are also typical of bronzes of this period. Compare two closely related earlier Chola bronze figures of Parvati at Christie’s New York, 11 September 2019, lot 327; and Christie’s New York, 16 September 2008, lot 427.
