A sculpture depicting Rama, one of the most important deities of Hinduism, considered the seventh avatar of Vishnu. The object was hand-carved in white marble in India, probably in the 19th century.<\/p>\n
The figure is depicted standing, facing forward. The face has a gentle expression with a soft smile and slightly closed eyes. The head is crowned with a decorative crown, and long necklaces are visible on the chest.<\/p>\n
The figure is dressed in a draped robe with clearly marked folds. On its back is a quiver with arrows, characteristic of Rama’s depictions.<\/p>\n
The hands of the sculpture are not preserved, originally in one of them the figure held a bow – a characteristic element of representations of this deity. Further about these cavities do not write that they are consistent.<\/p>\n
Rama is the hero of the epic Ramayana and in the Hindu tradition symbolizes righteousness and fidelity to the principle of dharma. His images occupy an important place in Indian sacred art, although full-figure marble sculptures of this scale are less common.<\/p>\n
The object is preserved in good condition, with clear legibility of form and detail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":32358,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[317],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-32357","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-sculpture","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"purchasable","12":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\n
