Product Description

This 18th century Indian Small Granite "Dwarpalika" or Temple Guardian in a menacing pose with dagger and shield, protecting from evil spirits. Broken into 2 parts and repaired.

India has the reputation for being a vibrant, mysterious country and their stone industry is no different. The tradition of Indian sculpture is the oldest in the world, dating back to the Indus Valley civilization in which people made statues and figures of bronze and stone. Ever since then, Indian sculpture has refined and expanded in scope and established itself as one of the finest in the world. Indian craftsmen have always been fascinated by figures from mythology and religion.
