Fine 14-15 century south Indian bronze Vishnu, from Kerala.

This lovely bronze Vishnu is a fine example of how local tastes and traditions had created different type casts, through out India, even when the influence of the Vijayanagar Empire was at its zenith.

It is a lovely Vishnu, set amongst a pedestal, with fine deep rich green patina.

The upper most part [probably the umbrella] is lost.

There are no dents, losses or any other damage to the bronze.

It comes from a big European collection.
