Mighty optical
illusion- Indian Sculpture Art
Elephant-Bull (
Vrishaba Kunjaram )
Vrishabha means Bull
and Kunjara means Elephant
This statue is to be
found at Airavatesvara Temple, Dharasuram,in1050 CE built by Rajendra Chozan
Tamilnadu, India.
The stone carving of
Vrishabha Kunjara is an interesting unique piece of artwork with head of Bull
and elephant in common from remarkable Cholas sculptures.
From the left, we can
see the head of the Bull facing right whereas the elephant facing left also can
be seen on the same head.
It’s both, the
elephant’s head is easy to see but the oxen is not so easy, but if you look
closely you’ll can see the bump on the elephant’s head is the oxen’s nose and
the bottom lip and tusk is the oxen’s ear and horn, and finally the elephant’s
trunk is the oxen’s famous hump.
Just it is my attempt
to make a art of this amazing sculpture using this reference sketch.
