About the Item
A likely 12-14th Century Northern Indian temple fragment of a female figure or consort known as an Apsaras. Carved in Red Sandstone, the female figure is appropriately attired in belt, girdle, necklace and bracelets and stands sensuously with one hand on hip and the other holding an unknown object. On each shoulder are located what might be another set of arms or what may have been a pair of Cobras and may identify the Apsaras as a consort of either the Cobra King or Queen. The figure is presented on a custom professionally crafted black steel stand.
In the ancient Manipur culture of the Meitei people of northeastern India, apsaras are considered as celestial nymphs or hellois as the flying creatures resembling the human female body attracting the male wanderers or any knights who lost their ways in the woods.
Dimensions: 16.5” high by 6.25” wide by 5” deep.
Condition: Please see detail photos. The Apsaras has several age-related losses but retains a commanding and fine presentation.
