An extraordinary Central Indian, Deccan, bronze/brass model of a hamsa bird holding a sprig in its beak. Circa 18th century.
The hamsa is a mythical aquatic bird, often associated with a goose or a swan, which represents perfect union and balance in life. 'Its name is derived from the exhalation of the Sanskrit sound 'ham' and the inhalation of 'sa', together constituting the return of the life force to brahman, its cosmic source.'
This finely detailed piece boasts a beautiful patina and substantial weight, making it a striking example of Deccan artistry.
