Kushan Period Northern India Uttar Pradesh Fly Whisk Mathura Red Sandstone
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of art from Northern India's rich cultural heritage. The image captures the elegance and grace of an attendant bearing a Fly Whisk (Chauri) during the Kushan period, specifically between 100-150 AD. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this stunning sculpture is made from red sandstone and stands at an impressive height of 55.8 cm (21 15/16 in. ). Its intricate design reflects the artistic brilliance prevalent in Uttar Pradesh's Mathura region during that era. The attendant's posture exudes poise as they hold the fly whisk delicately, symbolizing their role as a servant or aide. The Chauri itself represents power and authority, often used by nobility or religious figures to ward off insects or signify their elevated status. Dating back to a time when the Kushan dynasty reigned over Northern India, this artwork offers us a glimpse into ancient traditions and customs that shaped the region's history. It serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship and artistic expression prevalent during that period. As we admire this remarkable artifact through this photo print, let us appreciate its historical significance and marvel at how it has stood the test of time.
