In his upper hand Nataraja holds a drum shaped like an hourglass the damaru. His upper left hand signifies Agni fire or destruction. The opposing concepts in the upper hands show the counterpoise of creation and destruction. A cobra uncoils from his lower right forearm, and the crescent moon and a skull are on his crest. Shiva dances within a ferocious arch of flames and stands atop a dwarf that is representative of the dissolution of ignorance. His countenance is lucid calm, stillness amongst movement.\u003cbr\u003eAsian Indian bronze, molded through the lost wax process exhibits exquisite detail the perfect counterpoint to the strength and cosmic dynamism of this deity.\u003cbr\u003eThe base measure 4.5\" deep x 5.5\" wide.\u003cbr\u003eThe statue is 14.25 height x 12\" wide.\u003cbr\u003eHeavy Alloy Metal Cast Bronze Copper Color Handcrafted in India.\u003cbr\u003eFrom a Private Estate Encino Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height: 14.25 in (36.2 cm); Width: 12 in (30.48 cm); Depth: 2 in (5.08 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tibetan (In the Style Of)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials and Techniques:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bronze; Cast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlace of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-20th Century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate of Manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1950\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good; Wear consistent with age and use.
