Later, it was adorned with porticoes (torana). The design of this scarf is broadly drawn from the great \"stupa* of Sanci (Maurya dynasty. 324 B.C. 187 A.D.). The carvings and bas-reliefs depict elephants, horses, lions, peacocks, lotus flowers and, in the center, the wheel of the law. In a flight of fancy, the artist introduced the Hindu religion by depicting Ganesha, the elephant-headed god of abundance and joy. The lower part of the scarf shows the famous sculpture chosen, in 1947, as the symbol of the Indian republic. i.e. the four lions of the capital of Ashoka (third century B.C.).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/3596\/3236\/files\/Torana_SS87.jpg?v=1756780887\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom The H\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eermès Fall-Winter 1990\/91 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThis scarf takes its inspiration from the porticos (torana) of the stüpa of Sânchi, a funeral monument in Central India and the focal point of the buddhist religion under the Maura dynasty towards the beginning of our era. The artist has slipped the figure of a Hindu deity into his composition - Ganesa, the elephant-god, son of Siva and roughly the counterpart of Hermes in Greek mythology. This is what might be called a fine example of ecumenism!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/3596\/3236\/files\/Torana_fw90-91.jpg?v=1759774587\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hermès","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49271192191076,"sku":"TOR1","price":315.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/3596\/3236\/files\/IMG_76732-Edit.jpg?v=1789608071","url":"https:\/\/abigail-goodman.com\/products\/hermes-torana-46","provider":"Abigail Goodman Scarf Boutique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
