A RARE LARGE BRONZE FIGURE OF HAYAGRIVA - Tibeto-Chinese, 18th c. - Standing with his multiple legs in alidhasana, his six arms radiating around his body, the hands showing the specific gestures and holding the prescribed attributes, wearing tiger-skirt, scarf draped around his shoulders with its streamers encircling his arms and its finials curling up, mala of severed heads, bejewelled, his triple faced head displaying each a wrathful expression with bulging eyes below raised bushy eyebrows, open mouths showing double rows of teeth and fangs, beards framing their chin, elongated earlobes with large ear-ornaments, his red coloured flaming hairdo secured with tiaras set with skulls and decorated with three horse heads, mounted on an associated lotus base. - Old German private collection, assembled between 1960 and 1995 In Hinduism, Hayagriva, “The Horse-headed One”, is a term designating two characters linked to the Vishnu tradition. Hayagriva is the name of a demon slain by Vishnu during the mythical Taraka battle. According to relatively recent speculation, he was reincarnated as Kesin, the youngest brother of Kamsa, thereby becoming a majestic part of the Krishna legend. Vishnu himself, in a form with a horse’s head, promulgates the Vedas. In this frightening form, sometimes considered as one of his avatars, he exterminates certain demons such as Madhu and Kaitabha.
