Description: Antique Hindu Hardwood CorbelLeogryph YaliVyala Pillar StrutOrigin: India. Circa: 19th Century and earlierH.24 in. (61cm) x W 9 in. (23cm) x D 4 in. (10cm)Minor age splits, overall very good conditionA rustic corbel strut in the form of a Yali Lion, a mythical creature often carved into pillars in many South India Hindu temples. Yali is portrayed as part elephant, part lion, and part horse, though frequently also described as a part lion and part griffin in the form of a leogryph. Here he is standing on two hind legs, with two front paws tightly gripping the root end of a banyan tree, happily feeding it to his mouth of two protruding fangs. Along with two sleepy eyes and a large smile that convey gentleness and charm, the strength in the numinous presence of this aged wood carving is a direct reference to the thousand years old tradition of Hindu motif.*Authenticity GuaranteedWe guarantee all artifacts to be genuine as described.
