Description

Traveling Man Treasures is selling this vintage brass Dancing Nataraj Shiva statue. The Nataraj imagery is a depiction of the Hindu god Shiva as the divine dancer. This piece is in fine condition, and its smaller size allows it to be placed on altars or in other intimate settings. The sculpture is symbolic of Shiva as the lord of dance and dramatic arts. It typically shows Shiva dancing in one of the Natya Shastra poses, holding Agni (fire) in his left back hand, the front hand in gajahasta (elephant hand) or dandahasta (stick hand) mudra, the front right hand with a wrapped snake that is in abhaya (fear not) mudra while pointing to a Sutra text, and the back hand holding a musical instrument, usually a Udukai . His body, fingers, ankles, neck, face, head, ear lobes and dress are shown decorated with symbolic items, which vary with historic period and region. He is surrounded by a ring of flames, standing on a lotus pedestal, balancing one leg and trampling upon a demon shown as a dwarf (symbolizing spiritual ignorance).The dynamism of the energetic dance is depicted with the whirling hair which spread out in thin strands as a fan behind his head. DIMENSIONS: 6.75” H x 5.75” W x 1.75” D
