Vishnu
India,
Bihar, Apsadh; about 675 - 700
Stone
Gift from The Blanchette Hooker Rockefeller Fund
This recent addition to the Rockefeller collection is a rare example
of a 7th-century stone image of the Hindu god Vishnu from eastern
India. Although the hands, which would have held the attributes
of Vishnu, are missing, this statue can be identified on account
of his tall crown and the neatly curled locks that fall around
the head.
