This print showcases the exquisite Horse-Headed Yogini Hayagriva Seated Holding a Child, an 11th-century masterpiece of art and religious symbolism. Created by an unknown artist, this sculpture is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic traditions of Asia. The image captures the close-up view of this magnificent artwork, which is made from beige sandstone with intricate details carved into its surface. The color palette features warm tones that add depth and dimension to the piece. Horse-Headed Yogini Hayagriva is a deity in Hinduism, believed to be an avatar of Lord Vishnu. This sculpture depicts him seated gracefully while holding a child in his arms, symbolizing protection and care for children.

Its presence in an art gallery like the Art Institute Chicago speaks volumes about its cultural significance and contribution to the arts. As we admire this ancient stone sculpture, we are reminded of how art has always been intertwined with religion throughout history. The craftsmanship displayed here reflects not only devotion but also exceptional skill passed down through generations. This print allows us to appreciate both the beauty and historical value of this Horse-Headed Yogini Hayagriva Seated Holding a Child sculpture—a true gem from centuries past that continues to inspire awe and reverence today.
