Nataraja

Om Namah Sivaya !!
This graceful form of Shiva is infused with such artistic grace that it has come to represent all in Indian art, dance, and music. It possesses fluidity and flow of dance, purity of music and beauty of art. In this remarkably standardized form, the god is shown dancing within a flaming halo (prabha mandala) which represents time and which is shown as a circle to symbolize the Hindu belief that it is both cyclical and without end. This statue is 16 inches from base to top of the tallest flame and weighs 10 kg.  It is a classic example of the Chola Lost Wax Bronze casting process. The hundreds of hours of human energy in the form of wax molding, casting, rough/fine filing, and the final detail chiseling shine through in the completely unique face of this Siva Nataraja, truly one of a kind.  Nataraja’s right foot stands on Apasmara (ignorance personified).  – armed with dagger and a detailed tiny shield.  Shiva’s left foot is raised in dance movement.  A simple belt tied around his torso is shown flowing to his left and an erect Cobra sits on his right arm.  He holds Damaru (hourglass drum) in his upper right hand and Agnishikha (flame) in left. His lower right hand is gestured in Abhaya Mudra (assurance or granting fearlessness) and left hand dangles down, relaxed gracefully in Gajahasta Mudra. He wears his hair as a crown, studded with stork feathers. His free-flowing hairs bear Ganga depicted as a mermaid on the right side and a snake on the left.  The male and female earrings in his ears respectively symbolize Shiva’s completeness.  The sculpture rests on a double pedestal of lotus and square. The elegance of this one of a kind Lost Wax process bronze Nataraja will grace your studio, pooja room or any place of reverence you provide.

Height :20 inches width :8.5 inches Depth :6 inches weight :6.5 kilo Kalinga Krishna Hare Om!! Young Krishna triumphs over the evil 5 five-headed cobra Kalinga.  Young Krishna was beseeched by local villagers along the Yamuna River to banish the evil Kalinga from their lives and lifeblood the sacred Yamuna River.  The evil Kalinga had made the river poison for humans to consume and was wreaking havoc on their pastoral life which depended on the purity of the sacred Yamuna’s waters.  Taking pity on his disciples Krishna leaped into action.  After a fierce battle, Krishna prevailed and was about to cut off Kalinga’s 5 heads when he was petitioned for mercy by Kalinga’s wives who took the shape of the Nag Kama.  Krishna agreed to spare Kalinga’s life on the condition that he retreat to the deepest ocean and never trouble the earth’s human population again. Kalinga agreed and retreated to the deepest ocean where he remains to this day.  This one of a kind Chola Lost Wax Process Bronze displays the young Krishna at a unique time in his life. It is said this is when he was crowned by the villagers for his bravery and henceforth is displayed with a full crown as opposed to his long hair tied askew on top of his head as he is depicted in his adolescent years.

Rishabhavahana Devar

₹175,000.00

Availability: in stock

This set, depicting Siva as a peasant and Parvati as the Devi is a detailed copy of the pieces on display in the Thanjavur Art Gallery.  The originals are considered superb representations of Siva from the early Cholas in the year 1011 CE. This set is another one of Metal Crafts masterpieces that can bring Chola History and understated elegance into your home without supporting the illegal antique trade. The word Devar refers to the fact that Siva is represented in human form with just two arms.  This depiction is the only Chola statue in which Siva is shown in human form. It is also unique in the display of the hair shaped into the form of a turban that is most obvious in the front view. As stated above the two arms indicate that this form of Siva is the human guise of a peasant. The right hand is positioned to rest on the head of his sacred bull (Rishabha/Nandi), which was not found with the originals, while the left hand is in katyavalampita-hasta.  With unrivaled grace and dignity Siva, as a peasant stands firm on his left leg, the right leg crossed with toes resting on the ground.  The Devi, Parvati, is in every way a fit companion for the aesthetic excellence of Siva.  She stands in tribhanga leaning towards Siva with her right hand in kataka and the left hand hanging like a cows tail, govala.  Her legs mimic the posture of Siva with a lesser bend of the knee on the right leg.  This posture is what differentiates this Parvati form from other standing depictions such as Sivakami.  Certainly, any Chola bronze admirer can see the uniqueness of this pair from any other depiction of the heavenly couple and would want them to grace their home.
