Matsya, the Fish
Légende
Matsya, the Fish (the first incarnation of Vishnu). In his upper right hand the god carries the chakra (discus), in his upper left hand the shankha (conch), while his lower right hand is in abhaya and his lower left in varada mudra. The fish is painted with great care, as evident from details such as its scales and fierce-looking teeth. Its tail counterbalances the graceful sweep of Vishnu’s shawl and open-ended garland.
