An Early Indian Bronze Shrine Depicting Vishnu For Sale

---

An early Indian bronze shrine depicting Vishnu standing with his attributes in front of an arch.

This wonderful, early shrine with 'silver' inlaid eyes comes from western India, probably Maharashtra, and although it is very difficult to date precisely, it most likely dates from the 17th century. It is certainly pre-1800.

This bronze shows influences from the Chola period and also Jain art. It is an unusual, early piece that would grace any collection.
