STANDING BRONZE SHIVA INDIA 19TH CENTURY Dimensions: Height 23,5 cm Wide 14 cm Depth 8,5 cm Weight: 2901 grams A substantial cast-bronze image of Shiva standing frontally in a composed, symmetrical posture. The deity is richly ornamented and wears a tiger skin around the hips, an attribute recalling his mastery over the wild and his identity as the supreme ascetic. The broad torso and firmly planted stance give the figure a calm monumentality. The hands are described as forming abhaya and varada mudras, gestures of reassurance and beneficence. Together they present Shiva as a protective, accessible deity capable of granting blessings to the devotee. The tiger skin adds an ascetic note to this otherwise regal presentation. The dense weight of the casting and compact proportions reinforce the sculpture's physical presence.
