Antique Indian Hindu Silver Horse Kendeh Rao Avatar of Shiva 18th 19th century

SKU: AH8

This is a remarkable antique Indian Hindu silver figure of a horse from the 18th to 19th century. The figure is a true work of art, comprising several soldered-together silver elements, including intricately detailed legs, ears, tail, body, and base. This figure is even more remarkable because it is hollow, indicating the level of craftsmanship that went into its creation.

 

It's worth noting that in Hindu mythology, the horse holds great significance as it is considered to be the vehicle of Kendeh Rao, an avatar of Shiva. Kendeh Rao is associated with power, strength, and courage and is often depicted riding a horse. Thus, this silver horse figure would have been highly valued and revered in Hindu culture for its aesthetic appeal and its symbolic significance.

 

Overall, this antique silver figure is a true testament to the incredible artistry and craftsmanship of Indian artisans from centuries ago.
