12" Handmade Bhikshasthana Shiva Brass Statue

This 12-inch Bhikshasthana Shiva depicts the ascetic deity in his mendicant form, standing with the characteristic pose of a wandering holy man. Hand cast in brass, the figure captures Shiva in stillness, his form both lean and contemplative. The casting reveals fine detail in the facial features and draping, while the warm brass patina develops naturally over time with use and handling.

Rendered in hand cast brass, this sculpture commands attention on a shelf, altar, or spiritual corner without demanding much floor space, its narrow 3.8-inch depth makes it suitable for modest display areas. The weight of 1.54 kg gives it substantial presence relative to its 12-inch height, speaking to the quality of the casting.

• Material: Brass, hand cast
• Dimensions: 12 inch height x 6.5 inch width x 3.8 inch depth
• Weight: 1.54 kg
• Craft: Handmade in India using traditional brass casting techniques

A meaningful addition for anyone drawn to Shaivism or Hindu devotional art, this piece works equally well for the serious collector of Indian bronzes or someone building a personal altar. It gifts well to those who appreciate handcrafted spiritual sculpture and the mastery of traditional metalwork.
