Sandstone stele depicting Matsya from central India, 9th century AD. In the great all-consuming flood Vishnu took the form of a fish (Matsya) to save the primeval man and the sacred Vedas. In this carved relief, Matsya carries on his back a shrine which he has saved from the waters. The stele would originally have come from a niche in a Hindu temple in Central India dating to the 9th-10th CE. Inv. AC 1872,0701.50.
