Description

BrassIndia , 19th centuryDimensions: Height 10 cm by 25 cm by 9 cmWeight: 870 gramsA brass cast figure of a fabulous makara. The creature has the form of a dragon resting on its legs and paws, with a sinuous body covered with fish scales, a tail formed from stylized foliate scrolls, a head with small ears, one horn, sharp fangs in a wide opened dragon mouth, and an elephant trunk. The makara is turning its head backwards and sticking out a long tongue. The figure, standing on two ornamented brass sheets, serves as a door handle. Makara is a mythical creature in Hinduism and diversely depicted. As a crocodile, which is the acknowledged prototype, makara is considered an aquatic monster signifying the gentle powers as well as the fearful powers of water. Makara is the animal vehical (vahana) of the river Goddess Ganga and of the sea God Varuna. Furthermore, it is the vehical of Shiva, one of the principle deities of Hinduism, whobines various aspects and opposites, just as the hybrid makarabines body parts of different animals. In Hindu temples in India and Southeast Asia, stone figures of makara are architectural elements to protect gateways and stairs and are also used as waterspouts and for interior decoration. In the 3rd or 4th century AD, when Hinduist religion and art was introduced from India to Nepal, even Buddhist temples in Nepal were decorated with figures of makara and depictions of Hindu Gods.AUCTION DATE:Saturday 23rd April 202211:00 - 13:00Preview:15.
