The God of Destruction is trampling on the dwarf called Apasmara purusha, symbol of evil and ignorance, the left leg is tilted up in an ecstatic movement. His right hand to the front is showing the abhaya mudra, gesture of fearlessness and has a snake curled around the arm, while the other hand is pointing at the left foot and symbolizes the refuge for troubled ones. The right raised hand is holding his attribute the damaru drum and the left hand is holding the fire agni, the forces of creation and destruction. The strands expanding from the back of his hand signify the river Ganga. The cosmic dance is set in a three­banded halo of floral decorations, waves and flames. Shiva is wearing a high crown, a short dhoti and jewellery on his whole body. The smiling face shows his calmness in spite of his energetic dance amid contrary forces.

Another depiction of Lord Shiva's cosmic dance, standing on a lotus flower base on a rectangular platform. He is standing with the right foot on the prostrate dwarf Apasmara purusha (standing for spiritual ignorance) which must be subdued but not killed, as it would lead to attainment of knowledge without the necessary effort. The left foot is lifted and pointed at with Shiva's left hand and according to various historical texts can either symbolize the refuge for troubled souls or liberation and release in contrast to the grip of the right foot. The right hand with the coiled snake around the arm shows the abhaya mudra, the raised right hand is holding the ritual drum, the left raised hand is holding the fire agni. A scarf is billowing around the deity's body and the holy river Ganges is depicted by the strands expanding from the back of his head. The expression is stern and a crown with the seven­headed serpent Naga as protective shield sits on the head. The lord of dance is surrounded by a fiery aureole.

Red sandstone India, (185 BC ­ 220 AC) Uttar Pradesh, Mathura area , Kushan period

Dimensions: Height 67 cm by 25 cm

Weight: 32.600 grams

Sculpture belonging to the "Mathura art" of the Kushan period depicting a nobleman or monarch with the headdress and jewellery typical for that period. The "Mathura art" refers to a particular school of Indian art, which survived almost entirely in the form of sculpture, beginning in the 2nd century BC, and which concentrated near the city of Mathura, in the middle of northern India, at a time when Buddhism, Jainism flourished together with Hinduism in India.

Mathura is considered the first artistic centre to produce sculptures for all three religions and was until the Gupta period the centre of the pre­eminent religious artistic expression in India. It was India's most important artistic production centre from the second century BC, with its highly recognisable yellow­speckled red sandstone statues.

During the early Buddhist Kushan sculpture the anthropomorphic iconographic shape of the Buddha figure was developed,and for this draw upon the basic concept of "the characteristics of a large and noble being", the "mahapurusha lakshana", whose base is the very old representation of the forest spirit "yaksha",

This monarch is therefore depicted as an upright strong figure, holding the end of his robe or dhoti in his left hand and holding a cord (possibly the Hindu "brahmin cord") in his right hand. The sculpture was part of the parapet of a stupa and as such was also sculpted at the rear. The holes on the sides served to connect the sculpture with wooden or stone beams with other sculptures of the parapet.

Provenance: The statue was part of a British private collection since 1950 and was acquired by the current seller's family at an auction of Christie's in London in 1985
