Product description
Antique Fire-Gilded Nataraja – Lord Shiva
This impressive Nataraja depicts Lord Shiva as the cosmic dancer in his Ananda Tandava pose. The sculpture is crafted from a heavy bronze/metal alloy and retains beautiful remnants of traditional fire-gilding. The refined, manual finishing (chasing) is visible in the sharp details of the flame aura (Prabha Mandala) and the deity's facial features. Standing 43 cm tall and weighing a substantial 5.8 kg, this is a powerful ritual object. What makes this piece unique is its authentic 'worship patina': deep-seated mineral deposits and salt crystals in the grooves attest to decades of devotion and ritual use. The transition from the brilliant gold accents to the dark, aged patina gives the sculpture a museum-quality appearance. A rare and solid collector's item for connoisseurs of early 20th-century Indian art and lovers of objects with a tangible history.
