EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite late 12th-13th century print depicts the divine couple Krishna and Rukmini, flanked by their mounts Garuda and Seshanaga, respectively. Krishna, the central figure, is shown with his characteristic blue skin, holding a conch shell and a discus in his upper hands, while his lower hands are in the mudra of granting boons. Rukmini, his beloved queen, is dressed in elegant silk garments and adorned with precious jewels. She is seated on a lotus throne and holds a lotus in her right hand, symbolizing purity and divinity. Garuda, the mythical bird-man and mount of Vishnu, is depicted with outstretched wings, ready to fly. His fierce eyes and sharp beak convey a sense of power and protection. Seshanaga, the serpent king and mount of Shiva, is shown coiled around a pillar, his hoods raised in a protective gesture. The intricate details of the print reveal the masterful craftsmanship of the unknown artist. The figures are depicted with a sense of grace and elegance, their bodies sculpted with fluid lines and delicate features. The use of copper alloy adds to the richness and depth of the image, which is further enhanced by the vibrant colors of the pigments used. This print is believed to have originated from Tamil Nadu, a region in South India known for its rich artistic heritage. It is a testament to the vibrant and diverse artistic traditions of Hinduism in South East Asia during the medieval period. The image of Krishna and Rukmini with their mounts Garuda and Seshanaga is a popular motif in Hindu iconography, representing the divine union of love, power, and protection.
