More InformationMaterial and Style: Like much of the sculpture of central and western India, this sculpture is of sandstone. These sandstones range in color from cream to tan to red. (Other sculpture from central and western India is displayed in Gallery 3.)
Unlike the stone of the northern and southern Indian Vishnus to either side of this one, sandstone usually cannot be carved with extremely fine detail.
