EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 11th century figurine depicts the Hindu deity Revanta, an often overlooked god in Hinduism. Revanta is a solar deity, associated with the sun, horses, and the north direction. He is also known as the god of travelers and the protector of roads. This copper alloy statuette, likely originating from South East Asia or India, showcases Revanta in a seated position, with four horses surrounding him. The intricate details of the horses' manes and Revanta's ornate headdress demonstrate the exceptional craftsmanship of the unknown artist. The warm, rich colors of the patina on the figurine add to its allure, making it a captivating piece of heritage art. Revanta is an essential figure in Hindu mythology, and this figurine serves as a testament to the deep-rooted religious practices and artistic traditions of the 11th century. The exact provenance of this artifact is unknown, but it is now part of the extensive collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire awe and fascination among visitors. The Hindu God Revanta figurine is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Asia and the intricate history of Hinduism. With its intricate details and historical significance, this copper alloy statuette is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, Hinduism, or the religious artifacts of the past.
