Pair of 19th Century Indian Hand-Carved Grey Stone Soldier Temple Sculptures
About the Item
A pair of 19th century Indian sculptures hand-carved from grey stone to adorn a temple. These sculptures display two bearded men standing on cubic pedestals. The men appear to be British soldiers as evidenced by their clothes and weapons, both carrying a dagger and a musket. The sculptures were likely adornments for a temple, perhaps as guardians. This 19th century set of Indian stone soldier guardian temple sculptures would be an impressive decorative accent in any home, perhaps in a foyer or entrance greeting visitors and guarding the premises.
