Humans, animals & gods

The objects in this case present the variety of metal
sculptures that do not immediately appear to fit in
to conventions of Hindu or Buddhist iconography. Several are profoundly ambiguous, with a mixture of styles, or have been so worn by weathering or handling that they are unreadable.

8. Deities on horseback

A large figure holding a smaller one - possibly Shiva and his consort Parvati - on horses. They were purchased by the Museum in 1901 from Mrs Latham ‘whose brother procured them in India.’

Description (Physical description)
Equestrian figure of primitive design, in copper alloy, probably brass. The rider (probably the Hindu deities Shiva and Parvati) is detachable. In one hand the figure holds a short sword and being supported by the other arm is a much smaller figure, probably that of his consort. The horse is depicted on a rectangular base, which appears to be hollow and has two circular cavities either side of the horse on the base.
