Ivory Carved Dashavtar
Dashavatara Ivory Shrine is a miniature Hindu shrine displaying the incarnations of Lord Vishnu intricately carved in ivory. Magnificently carved, this small ivory shrine depicts the 10 incarnations of Lord Vishnu, and is on display in the National Museum (New Delhi). This carved ivory shrine was made in the late 18th century.
Dashavatara of Lord Vishnu is one of the most popular concepts of Hinduism, which has been widely worshiped by the Hindus in one or the other form.〔Dr. Manish Kumar Dwiwedi (भारतीय साहित्य एवं कला में दशावतार ). कला प्रकाशन.〕
==History==
The intricate carving and design places this shrine back to the late 18th or early 19th century. South India, used to be the hub of ivory craft, before it was banned in the country. Many artisans and craftsmen from various parts of south India (especially Trivandrum) specialized in carving ivory. Decorated with black paint, the screen and the base of the shrine shows the signature style of craftsmanship of Mysore school of ivory painting.
However, ivory is a bone medium and so is forbidden to be worshiped in Hinduism. And so this raises the question as to why this shrine was carved in ivory.
