Product description
Estimated value: €1,000 – €1,500. Fire-gilded bronze statue of Brahma, the Hindu creator god, depicted with four faces symbolizing the four cardinal directions and cosmic knowledge. The statue is rendered seated on a composite base with an elephant motif, a regional interpretation found in late 18th and 19th-century depictions of Brahma from India. The object is traditionally hollow-cast in bronze and shows clear remnants of original fire-gilding with natural wear and patina, consistent with its age and use. No traces of modern regilding or restoration observed. Dimensions approximately H 20 x W 13 cm, weight approximately 1.3 kg. An authentic religious object with an understated aesthetic, representative of regional Hindu sculptural traditions.
