12" Brass Nataraja Statue with Inlay Work | Cosmic Dance of Shiva

The 12" Brass Nataraja Statue with Inlay Work | Cosmic Dance of Shiva is a brass statue in the decorative sculpture category that encapsulates the cosmic dance in a compact 12 inch form. From Exotic India Art, this piece reflects a long lineage of Indian metalwork and is crafted with careful attention to balance and proportion. Material and finish: cast in brass and finished with a subtle patina to accentuate the inlay work. The surface is meticulously chased and polished by hand to reveal fine lines that highlight the limbs, crown, and halo. Significance: the Nataraja motif presents the dance as a visual rhythm of creation and dissolution and is celebrated in Indian art for its dynamic movement and the sense of equilibrium it conveys. Placement and use: ideal for a home temple or meditation space, as a decor accent on a shelf or altar, or for a thoughtful gift to a collector of traditional sculpture.
