Standing Vishnu Flanked by Lakshmi and Garuda in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, September 2010
Vishnu Flanked by Lakshmi and Garuda
Period: Karnata-Malla period
Date: 11th century
Culture: Nepal (Kathmandu Valley)
Medium: Stone
Dimensions: H. 19 14 in. (48.9 cm); W. 14 1/4 in. (36.2 cm); D. 3 1/2 in. (8.9 cm)
Classification: Sculpture
Credit Line: Gift of The Kronos Collections, 1995
Accession Number: 1995.570.9
Description:
This stela shows a four-armed Vishnu holding his weapons—a conch and a club—in his upper hands. He is flanked on his right by his consort Lakshmi, and on his left by his vehicle, the solar bird Garuda, represented here in anthropomorphic form. Vishnu stands on a raised platform decorated with a stylized lotus plant and flower, while the goddess is on a lotus pedestal and Garuda is on tiered rocks, representative of his mountain abode. Each deity is surrounded by a pearl-and-flame aureole, as is the ensemble as a whole.
