12" Bhikshasthana Shiva In Brass | Handmade | Made In India

The 12" Bhikshasthana Shiva In Brass | Handmade | Made In India is a brass sculpture in the Bhikshasthana Shiva form, a traditional Indian depiction of Shiva as a mendicant ascetic. Cast in solid brass and finished by skilled artisans, it presents a poised figure with careful detailing that reflects centuries of metalwork craft. The piece emphasizes clean lines, poised balance, and a subdued luster achieved through hand finishing.

Solid brass is chosen for its warm tone and enduring resilience. The surface receives a careful patina to enhance depth and texture, while the detailing of hair, jewelry, and drapery is defined by hand polishing.

In Indian iconography the Bhikshasthana form represents the mendicant aspect of the tradition, illustrating renunciation and the aesthetic meditation. Placement and use cases include home temple or altar display, meditation space focus, decor accent for living room shelves, a thoughtful gift for appreciators of Indian art, and collector display for carved metal sculpture.
