Matsya Avatar
Description: Crafted from smooth black granite, this statuette elegantly depicts the Matsya Avatar - one of Lord Vishnu's first incarnations in the form of a fish. The gestural contours capture a synthesis of aquatic and human. Intricately carved ornaments frame the beatific yet protective face while a stylized fish tail and fins convey fluidity on the lower half of the vertically elongated sculpture. This iconographic imagery symbolizes Matsya's mythic role in preserving lifeforms during a great deluge thus safeguarding creation's continuity. The lustrous black stone icon spotlights Vishnu's crucial inaugural avatar rendered through a harmonious melding of mythic motifs and figural sculpture.
