The renowned Asian art collector of the 1960s and
70s, Avery Brundage, donated nearly 8,000 works
of art to the San Francisco Asian Art Museum. In
an efort to edit the collection of ichnographically
repetitious works, certain objects, such as the
present sculpture, were deaccessioned by the
museum. This beautiful stone relief of the Hindu
couple, Umamaheshvara, retains the original
museum accession number written in orange
paint on the verso.
