Summary
| Description |
English: "This beautiful work of art is an hand made unique and ancient traditional miniature painting from the Bundi School (one of the most prestigious school of the traditional art of Rajasthan in India). This is an original painting, not a copy, painted more than 238 years ago around year 1775. It measures 6,3 x 7,87 inches (16 x 20 cm) for the painting itself, not including painted frame.
This painting was done with opaque water color made with natural pigments from different stones and real gold, on hand-made paper. It represents the goddess chinnamasta with severed head. This is a tantra based subject. Mostly this goddess depicted in fierce form but here she is depicted in a benign form, sitting on a golden throne wearing red and orange dress holding a sword in her left hand, in the right hand her own severed head with lotus crown and opened third eye on forehead from which comes lightning of direct perception that destroys all duality and negativity. Devotees sitting both side and praying, in background a special character appear with head of ram and human body, quite possible its an icon of ego In humans. A big lotus in the pond is symbol of wisdom and purity." |
