Pair of Hindu Divine Figures – India, 19th/early 20th century
Framed: Plexiglas on black panel – H 170 x W 90.5 cm each
An exceptional set of two ancient divine figures, likely from the Hindu tradition of South India. Carved from antique wood and decorated with applied painted textiles, these works embody a rarely seen artisanal refinement and symbolic richness.
Each deity is depicted in movement, in a ritual posture, holding emblematic objects: weapons, flowers, or sacred scepters. Their costumes are finely detailed, adorned with finery characteristic of Indian mythological figures. The use of glued fabric, combined with painting and woodcutting, suggests a cultic or ceremonial function, perhaps related to a domestic sanctuary, a temple, or a processional setting. The presentation under transparent Plexiglas on a black background enhances the graphic and spiritual aspect of each figure, while preserving the traces of time, cracks, and imperfections in the wood that attest to their authenticity.
???? Mixed media: carved wood, paint, textile
???? Presumed origin: South India
???? Estimated period: 19th / early 20th century
???? Dimensions of each framed piece: 170 x 90.5 cm
These works form a rare and striking duo, somewhere between sacred art and collectible. A strong and unique presence for a refined interior, a gallery, or a collection dedicated to Asian art.
