Brass Lord Shiva as Nataraja

The Brass Lord Shiva as Nataraja is a brass statue in the decorative sculpture and spiritual idol category, carefully crafted to capture the classical Nataraja form in Indian art. The figure portrays Lord Shiva performing the cosmic dance within a halo of fire, with the drum in one hand and the raised leg poised over the ring of symbols that denote knowledge and illusion.
