Lot 749
Pala Empire, 8th-12th century AD. An upper part of a dark brown stone panel with a high-relief carving of a torso of goddess Lakshmi, wearing a loose fabric over one shoulder with one breast uncovered, adorned with large earrings, necklace, arm ring and headdress; surrounded with two elephants to the top, each holding a jar pouring water. 138 grams, 73mm (3"). From an important London, W1, collection; acquired 1960-1980s. Lakshmi is the Hindu goddess of wealth, fortune, prosperity and the wife of Vishnu, one of the most important gods in Hinduism. According to one myth about the creation of universe, Lakshmi springs up, together with other precious things, from the milk ocean, when it is churned by gods and demons. In iconography, she is either sitting or standing on a lotus, and typically carrying a lotus in one or two hands. Below, behind or on the sides, Lakshmi is sometimes shown with one or two elephants and occasionally with an owl. Elephants symbolise work, activity and strength, as well as water, rain and fertility for abundant prosperity. A specific depiction of Lakshmi with two elephants is referred to as Gajalakshmi. In this aspect, she is usually standing or seated on a lotus, flanked on both side by an elephant (gaja"). These elephants may represent two of the eight elephants who are believed to hold up the sky from the eight corners of the cosmos. They are called 'dig-gajas' and are usually one male and one female. According to one myth, they came to Lakshmi after she emerged from the ocean, and sprayed water on her. This act depicted the divine acknowledgement of Lakshmi's powers and capacity to make the world rich and vibrant. The earliest available depiction of Gajalakshmi appears on a coin from 3rd century AD from Kausambi. Fine condition, repaired.
