{"product_id":"dourga-art-deco-dancer-bronze","title":"Dourga Art Deco Dancer Bronze Sculpture – 42.3 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003e“Dourga” shows a tall, slender dancer standing perfectly upright with both arms raised above her head, her close-fitting costume decorated with a dotted, jewel-like pattern and a stylised headdress framing her face. The pose is still and ceremonial, almost like a figure from a temple frieze, and the golden-brown bronze emphasises its long vertical line. On a small stepped plinth and black base, the sculpture stands 42.3 cm tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Artistic Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name and the pose recall the exotic stage figures of the Art Deco period, when sculptors such as Demétre Chiparus portrayed dancers of the Paris theatres in elaborate costumes inspired by India, Egypt and the Ballets Russes. Durga, in Hindu tradition a warrior goddess, lends the title a sense of power and mystery. The strict symmetry, the raised arms and the patterned surface turn the figure into a decorative emblem, typical of the geometric elegance of the 1920s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Art Deco dancer with raised arms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Golden-brown patina with patterned costume (as photographed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small stepped plinth on a black base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (H × W × D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 42.3 × 8.4 × 14.5 cm (16.7 × 3.3 × 5.7 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStyling \u0026amp; Display Ideas\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDisplay it on a narrow console, a mantel or a bookshelf where its height and slim profile can be appreciated.
