Product description
Estimated value: €900 – €1,600 An impressive and powerful Shiva Nataraja statue from India, crafted in bronze and dating from the early 20th century. Shiva is depicted here in his cosmic dance, surrounded by a halo of flames symbolizing the eternal cycle of creation and destruction. Beneath his foot lies the dwarf Apasmara, the symbol of ignorance being overcome. This statue was traditionally cast using the lost-wax technique, which is clearly visible from its open base and irregular internal structure. This confirms that it is not a product of modern mass production, but rather a handcrafted piece with character and history. The natural patina, with dark and light greenish oxidation, gives the statue an authentic appearance. Wear is visible on the raised areas, while the deeper zones have retained their original color. The combination of size, weight, and complex composition makes this a striking and decorative object. A strong piece for lovers of Indian art and spirituality, with a powerful aura and clear symbolism. Dimensions: height 57 cm × width 41 cm Weight: 10.2 kg Expertise & Symbolism Do you want to fully understand the deeper iconographic meaning, the correct mudras, and the ritual context of this object?
