Description
The Shiva Nataraja is a brilliant invention that serves as a symbol, combining Shiva's roles as the creator, preserver, and destroyer of the universe, and conveying the Indian conception of the never-ending cycle of time. Although it appeared in sculpture as early as the fifth century, its present, world-famous form evolved under the rule of the Cholas.
Shiva's dance is set within a flaming halo, and he holds several symbolic elements in his hands. In his upper right hand, he holds the damaru (a hand drum that made the first sounds of creation), while in his upper left hand, he holds agni (the fire that will destroy the universe). With his lower right hand, he makes the abhayamudra (the gesture that allays fear), and the dwarflike figure being trampled by his right foot represents apasmara purusha (illusion, which leads mankind astray). Shiva's front left hand, pointing to his raised left foot, signifies refuge for the troubled soul, and the energy of his dance makes his hair fly to the sides.
This beautifully crafted bowl features a hand-painted floral and bird motif on a soft blue porcelain base. Intricately detailed bronze-finish handles and an ornate pedestal base add a sense of timeless luxury. Ideal as a centerpiece for classic interiors or an elegant accent for consoles and tables.
Dimensions (H x W x D): approx. 24 x 42 x 32 cm (9.4" x 16.5" x 12.6")
Material: Porcelain body with antique-finish metal handles and stand

It was beautifully made & enjoyed by the receiver.

Arrived when expected and the item is beautiful. Looks quality and great detail. It is a gift for someone and I don't think they'll be disappointed with it. Also, I had some concerns about delivery time as I was on a tight schedule but had plenty of communication with the seller and it was delivered by Royal Mail which was reassuring.

This is a gift for my wife who loves owls. This piece of Steampunk art takes the wise bird whom Athena in Greek mythology favours to an entirely new level. I love steampunk art and my wife is quite impressed with this figurine which is well made and quite unique.
