A bronze figure of Vishnu as Venugopala
India, 16th Century
depicted fluting and holding one of his four attributes
18.1 cm. high
Footnotes:
The present lot is a rare example of an iconography which combines elements associated with both Vishnu, who typically has four arms and whose attributes include the wheel, as depicted in our statue, and his avatar, Krishna, who is more commonly associated with the flute. A comparable statue, dated to the 16th/ 17th Century, is in the Yale University Art Gallery, Connecticut (Accession No. 2017.52.1).
