Product description
Physical Dimensions & Condition
Height: 9.6 – 10.5 cm | Width: 8.2 – 8.7 cm | Weight: 200 grams (set)
Unique set — definitively not re-available after sale. This set of three hand-cast bronze Shiva Nataraja statues forms a harmonious whole in which each statue possesses its own character. Although the sculptures clearly belong to the same tradition, they differ subtly in posture, detailing, and expression. These small variations precisely emphasize the artisanal character and make this set particularly attractive for collectors of Indian art and spiritual objects. Shiva is depicted as Nataraja, the cosmic dancer, surrounded by a ring of flames symbolizing the eternal cycle of creation, destruction, and rebirth. The dark bronze patina and natural wear give the statues a warm, lived-in appearance that fits beautifully into both classic and modern interiors.
✓ Complete set: Three hand-cast Shiva Nataraja statues with stylistic variations among them.
✓ Traditional iconography: Shiva as the cosmic dancer within the sacred ring of flames.
✓ Handmade: Cast in bronze with a natural dark patina.
✓ Spiritual meaning: Symbol of transformation, protection, energy, and renewal.
✓ Versatile: Suitable for an altar, meditation space, yoga studio, or art collection.
✓ Includes: Official certificate of authenticity from 1stbuddha.
The Spiritual Meaning
Shiva Nataraja is among the most powerful representations within Hinduism. His cosmic dance depicts the continuous movement of the universe: creation, preservation, destruction, and rebirth. Under his foot lies Apasmara, the demon of ignorance, through whom Shiva demonstrates that true knowledge and consciousness ultimately triumph over ignorance.
The Ring of Flames: Symbolizes the eternal cycle of the universe.
Apasmara: Represents the overcoming of ignorance and ego.
Cosmic Dance: Stands for change, growth, and spiritual transformation.
Protective Energy: A cherished symbol for strength, balance, and inner development.
Authenticity & Material
All three statues are traditionally cast in bronze and possess a natural, dark patina that beautifully accentuates the details.
Bronze: Traditionally cast using artisanal techniques.
Natural Patina: Dark oxidation and subtle wear enhance the character.
Hand-finished: Small differences in detailing make each statue unique.
Decorative Harmony: Together, the three statues form a balanced and atmospheric composition.
Honest Collector's Condition: Light signs of use and oxidation consistent with age and material.
