Undoubtedly one ofthe most finely detailed and elegant examples 0 「 north lndian temple sculpture extant, th1S pillar bracket in the 応 rm 0 「 an 叩示 with female attendant comes 伝 om the site 0f Harshagr1 (Nos. 12 , 48 ) in the ancient Sapädalaksa reglon 0f northeastern Rajasthan. A second similar lmage IS in a French collection and at least one more seems tO be embedded intO the wall Of a relatlvely recent subterranean at Harshag1r1 dedicated to Siva as the 2 ferocious Bhairava. The brackets may have come 伝 om the hall intenor 0 「 the main temple at the site, the Harsanätha temple, called the Puräna Mahädeva and built in A. D. 956 ( NO. 12 ). However, many Other structures once formed this hilltop temple complex, including numerous subshnnes, a monumental freestanding entry arch を 0 川れの , and a multilevel pillared tank. The woman who forms this bracket curves into a graceful S shape, the tnple bend called , as she rests a hand on her attendant. The attendant hOlds up a n11 江 or with her le hand. Suspended by a long chain over her shoulder is a double sack endmg in a pot. Her nght hand grasps the S-shaped hook by wh1Ch the sacks and pot could have been hung. The extraordmary attention tO the minor details Of this and Other ObJects is charactenstic Of the meticulous carvers 0f Harshagr1. Behind the palr nses the windmg stalk Of a mango tree' complete with a tiny twistmg monkey. The P1erced link ornament and swirhng scarf are further tnumphant testament tO the skill Of the nameless craftsman.

There are numerous lmages Of Varäha still in S1tu on temples in western and central lndla dating 伝 om the end of the tenth and first half of the eleventh century W1th virtually the same lconographlc charactenstlcs as this image. ln terms 0f regonal style, however, certaln features Of the anatomy indicate an ongln ln northern Rajasthan, ancient 、 Märude'a. For example, female torsos dlsplay a tubular nb area divided by a ndge at the waist to begln a gently bulglng but narrow belly and hips. The long male torso with defined diaphragm is also indicative of contemporaneous monuments in the regon. lt has been the common wisdom that reliefs W1th pierced backs are typical 0f central and not western lndia; however, they dO appear ln northern Rajasthan. AIthough half a century earlier than our image, the figures of the Nilakantha Mahädeva temple at Kekmd 0 asnagar) in the Nagaur distnct of Rajasthan, nudway between Jodhpur and Jaipur, bear some relauonshlp to th1S piece, even though the dehcacy of the limbs of figures at Kekmd link them to the Cähamäna idlom of the neighbonng Ja1pur and Sikar districts. The late tenth—century subshrines at the site Of Osian, north ofJodhpur, may be more comparable. Dunng the "medieval" penod, Varäha became one Of the most C0n11 Ⅱ on lcomc forms ofVisnu, found frequently on extenor 記 ra mches ofVm»ava temples. However, this image ofVaräha is carved 0f schist rather than the sandstone typical of temple bodies in northern RaJ asthan. This indicates that it was most likely carved for a sanctum, probably the sanctum Of a subsidlary shnne ln a Va1snava temple complex. Dark schist or serpenune/metasiltstone 、 Often utilized in western lndia for sanctum images. The finer gram allowed for a level of detading not possible with coarser sandstone (quartz or quartzlte aremte). R れ化 : Lefebre d'Argence and Tse Bartholomew 1969 : 70 , no. 30. 265
