Product description
Physical Dimensions & Condition Height: 14.5 cm | Width: 11.5 cm | Weight: 400 grams Unique item — definitively not available again once sold. This compact bronze statue depicts Shiva Nataraja, the cosmic dancer and one of the most significant representations in Hindu art. Despite its modest size, the statue has a powerful presence thanks to the classic flame aureole, the harmonious dance pose, and the warm dark brown patina.
