16" Nataraja Brass Statue - Handmade King of Dancers

This 16-inch Nataraja captures Shiva in his cosmic dance pose, the dynamic moment frozen in hand cast brass. The figure's limbs curve and extend in the classical tribhanga stance, with one leg lifted and arms articulated in the mudras of creation and destruction. The patina and weight of the casting reveal the detail of each gesture, from the intricate headdress to the ornaments that accent the dancing form.

Cast using traditional methods, this brass sculpture has the warm, lived-in depth that comes from hand work. At just under 6 kilograms, it commands presence on a shelf or mantelpiece without overwhelming the space, and its 4.8-inch depth makes it suitable for narrow surfaces where a full sculptural statement is still desired.
