1887.08.5173 :: skulptur, staty, figur

Object description

Skulptur av vit marmor med rikt målad dräkt, främst i guld. Stående kvinna med framsträckta händer (har hållit i föremål). Föreställer Radha.

Dessa statyer (5172, 5173) tillverkades i en av de verkstäder som fanns och alltjämt finns i gamla Benares/Varanasi, varifrån Hjalmar Stolpe också förvärvade dem. Dessa verkstäder erbjuder såväl antropomorfiska som icke antropomorfiska skulpturer (de senare en linga, som står för Shiva). Besökare, ofta pilgrimer köper dessa för att ta dem med sig hem till familjens altare, till bytemplet eller till ett större tempel i regionen.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
