Product description
Estimated value: €650 – €1,400. Antique wooden temple relief of Shiva as Nataraja from South India, 19th century. The relief is carved entirely from a single solid plank and depicts Shiva in his cosmic dance, symbolizing creation, destruction, and rebirth. The dynamic posture with multiple arms, the snake, and the dwarf figure refer to classic Shiva iconography as applied in South Indian temple architecture. The object was originally intended as an architectural element in a temple or shrine and was later fitted with a hanging eye for use as a wall object. The deep carving technique, clear manual chisel marks, and natural wear confirm traditional craftsmanship and age. The wood shows a warm, aged patina without modern finishing. Dimensions approximately H 52.5 x W 26 cm, weight approximately 4.45 kg.
