- Lot Description
South Asia, India, ca. 19th century CE. A large cast brass statue depicting Shiva Nataraja (or Nataraaj, meaning "Lord of the Dancers") in a striking pose. This Hindu deity is regarded as both creator and destroyer of the universe, capturing the duality and cyclical view of time embraced by the Hindu religion. Shiva dances with front arms crossed and presenting a mudra, back arms extended outward, the right leg extended, and the left leg placed upon the back of the dwarf-like demon figure known as apasmara purusha who is lying in a prone position upon a lotus pedestal. This act symbolizes Shiva's ability to stomp away ignorance. Lord Shiva's stares outward with a tranquil expression, eyes half closed and seemingly indifferent to the current predicament taking place directly below him. Shiva is highly decorated with an elaborate headdress, a Rudraksha beaded necklace, epaulet-like ornaments adorning the shoulders, armbands, bracelets, bejeweled belt, leg coverings, and anklets. A wonderful rendering, replete with impressive artistry and layers of symbolic meaning. Size: 6.875" L x 11.25" W x 20.75" H (17.5 cm x 28.6 cm x 52.7 cm)
