EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning ivory sculpture of Vishnu, the Hindu god, seated on the Serpent Sesha. The intricate details and craftsmanship of this 19th-century Indian artwork are truly remarkable. Vishnu is depicted in a serene posture, holding symbolic objects that represent his divine powers. In one hand, he holds a conch shell (shankha), symbolizing the creation of cosmic sound and its ability to spread positive vibrations. In another hand, he grasps a mace (gada), signifying his strength and power to protect righteousness. The discus (chakra) held in his third hand represents his ability to cut through ignorance and eliminate evil forces. Lastly, the lotus flower signifies purity and spiritual enlightenment. The presence of the Serpent Sesha beneath Vishnu emphasizes their deep connection as it serves as his divine seat or throne. This serpent is not only seen as an earthly creature but also represents eternity and timelessness. This awe-inspiring image captures the essence of Hindu mythology with its rich symbolism and profound spirituality. It reminds us of the ancient wisdom embedded in these religious traditions while showcasing the incredible talent of Indian artists from centuries past. Displayed at London's Freud Museum, this photograph allows viewers to appreciate both the beauty of this artwork and its cultural significance within Hinduism.
