Product description
Antique Hand-Cast Bronze Shiva Nataraja Statue – 35 cm / 4.00 kg – South India – ca. 1900 Specifications: H 35 × W 28 cm | Weight: 4.00 kg (Very heavy, thick-walled casting) | Verified Malachite Patina | Hollow Base with Core Remains We proudly present a monumental, exceptionally heavy, and forensically verified masterpiece of Indian metal casting art: an antique cast bronze statue of Shiva Nataraja (the King of the Dance). This powerful sculpture dates from the early 20th century (South India, ca. ). With a height of 35 cm and a substantial weight of no less than 4.00 kg, this openwork metal casting represents an exceptionally massive and rare quality within the Asian antique trade. Cosmic Iconography & Metal Biology This heavy bronze altar piece excels with its fabulous detailing and brings an intense atmosphere of dynamic balance and historical dominance to any high-end interior or exclusive collection: The Sacred Dance of Creation: Shiva is depicted in the traditional Ananda Tandava pose within a large, circular aureole of flames. With his right foot, he tramples the dwarf-demon Apasmara, the symbol of spiritual ignorance and the ego. Verified Natural Copper Patina: The metal surface possesses a brilliant, deep chocolate-brown patina skin. In the deep crevices, the base folds, and around the flowing locks of hair (jata's), a dry, granular green-blue malachite efflorescence (verdigris) has formed over many decades. This is the unfalsifiable signature of pure, pre-industrial age. Robust Open Underside: The tiered, rectangular base with cast-in lotus leaves is traditionally cast hollow. Deep within the central cavity, the original, bone-dry and rock-hard baked casting core remains of clay and ash are visible, the irrefutable proof of handicraft via the lost-wax method. Product Details Depiction: Shiva Nataraja (Cosmic Dancer) Material: Heavy cast bronze/copper alloy with original chocolate-brown and malachite patina and historical casting core remains Origin / Style: South India / Traditional Hindu Casting Art Dating: Early 20th Century (ca. ) – Guaranteed antique Dimensions & Weight: H 35 × W 28 cm | Weight: 4.00 kg (Massive bronze) Condition: Exceptional, unrestored condition.
