INDIA, RAJASTHAN OR MADHYA PRADESH, 10TH-11TH CENTURY

A renowned Asian art collector of the 1960s and 70s, Avery Brundage donated nearly 8,000 works of art to the Asian Art San Francisco. In an effort to edit the collection of iconographically repetitious works, certain objects, such as the present sculpture, were deaccessioned by the museum. This beautiful stone relief of the Hindu couple, Uma-Maheshvara, retains the original museum accession number written in orange paint on the verso.
