22" Nataraja Brass Statue | Handmade Dancing Shiva Idol

22" Nataraja brass statue that belongs to Exotic India Art's collection of authentic Indian art. This handcrafted sculpture presents the iconic dancing form of Shiva within the sphere of devotional and decorative sculpture.

Cast in brass and finished with a warm antique patina, the statue reveals subtle hammering lines and careful surface treatment that emphasize its movement. Each piece is shaped by skilled artisans who refine the contours by hand, producing nuanced detail from the hair to the flame ring surrounding the figure.

Within traditional Indian art, Nataraja is a highly stylized representation of cosmic rhythm. The dancing pose expresses cycles of creation and dissolution in a single moment, symbolized by the ring of fire around the figure and the dwarf underfoot.

Ideal for a home temple, meditation space, or as a refined decor accent in living rooms and studies. It also makes a thoughtful gift for collectors and appreciators of artisanal sculpture.

Because this piece is handcrafted, each statue carries subtle variations in patina and texture, offering a unique character while remaining faithful to the original form.
