While the items relating to the Department of Archaeology, Government of India, were supplied by my colleagues in the Department, to whom my thanks are due, the remain- ing ones, considerable in number and value, were obtained from others who are officially connected with the archaeological activities in the country, viz. the directors of explorations and excavations, the heads of the archaeological organizations in the States where they exist and the chiefs of the leading museums. I am immensely grate- ful to them for having readily sent their reports and, in many cases, illustrations for in- clusion in the Review. In almost all such cases, the sources of the material are obvious, and have not been individually acknowledged. I am also deeply obliged to those colleagues of mine who have helped me in the preparation of the text and plates and have seen the publication through the press within a remarkably short time.

  • PARINIRVĀṆA REPRESENTATIONS in the ART of MATHURA : a Study Based on the Discovery of a Unique Parinirvāṇa Stele from the Varāha Temple of Mathura
    VVinayinay KKumarumar GGuptaupta MMonikaonika ZZinin Archaeological Survey of India Saxon Academy of Sciences, University of Leipzig New Delhi Polish Institute of World Art Studies PARINIRVĀṆA REPRESENTATIONS IN THE ART OF MATHURA : A Study Based on the Discovery of a Unique Parinirvāṇa Stele from the Varāha Temple of Mathura athurā has long been famous as a great centre of Buddhist art. Among the Buddhist art pieces, the number of representations M of episodes from the Buddha’s life story is limited. Every new narrative representation adds an important dimension to the existing knowl- edge. A new parinirvāṇa relief (Fig. 1) was discovered in the Varāha Temple, Mathura. This temple is situated in the heart of the city near the famous Dwarkadhish Temple and is traditionally believed to be one of the most ancient shrines of Mathura, though the present temple structure appears to be only about two to three hundred years old. The relief came to light while visiting the Varāha Temple where it had been placed inside a deep niche of a temple wall and labelled as Śeṣaśāyī Viṣṇu. On inquiry it could be learned that the relief had been found somewhere in the vicinity of the temple. It had been located inside the niche of temple wall for about 100 years. Accordingly, its real discovery might have been 100 years ago or even earlier. The relief is considered a new discovery because, to our knowledge, it has not been reported in any literature on the art of Mathura; this is surprising as the temple is quite frequently visited. The labelling of the relief as Śeṣaśāyī Viṣṇu i.e.

  • Goat-Headed Deities in Ancient Indian Sculpture
    Agnieszka Staszczyk Jagiellonian University in Kraków https://doi.org/10.15804/aoto202002 GOAT-HEADED DEITIES IN ANCIENT INDIAN SCULPTURE I. INTRODUCTION tarting with the oldest preserved monuments, depictions of animals used in a religious context are quite common in Indian art. For the record, two such main groups can be distinguished: 1. whole animal figures S 1) (copied in accordance with nature); 2. hybrid representations in which part of the image is human and part animal. Most often, in the latter case, the animal element is the head or face. An example is Varaha – one of the incar- nations of Vishnu, undoubtedly the most widespread hybrid image in India (Fig. 1). In this analysis,2) however, I would like to focus on less popular fig- 1) The most important in relation to this tradition are studies of the ancient cult pillars, also the so-called Ashokan ones that confirm the antiquity and even the priority of cults using animal images. As Irwin points out, the origins of figural stone sculpture with which these monuments are connected should be treated as if “many links this pillar-art seemed to have with native Indian tradition – in particular with the animal standards or emblems described in epic literature as dhvaja-stambhas (. ..) leaving open the possibility that at least the uninscribed pillars might have been erected by Aśoka’s predecessor, Bimdusāra.”; and “There is also abundant evidence that animal-pillars were associated with sacred-tree shrines as well as tumuli.” (Irwin 1973: 714, 716) It may be concluded that Ashoka took over already existing places of worship (with their images) to propagate the Buddhist dharma.
