Description
A pink sandstone sculpture depicting Vishnu, medieval India, 10th–13th century
Standing in a frontal pose with a slight sway of the hips, the deity wears a short dothi tied at the waist. He is crowned with a tall kiri?a-muku?a crown and richly adorned with necklaces, earrings and bracelets. He holds two of his characteristic attributes in the hands of his rear arms: the conch shell (saḥkha) on the left and the mace (gada) on the right. The other two arms hang down alongside the body; the left hand is missing and the right hand is in the varada mudra.
