Description from the seller

Magnificent Tempel Dragon Brass Sculpture

This beautiful, dragon sculpture in cast brass with a shades of green, brown and blue patina, It is statement piece, one that is intricately carved and detailed, and it features a very expressive pose and expression: it almost seems poised to attack.

Hand cast full brass old temple brass sculpture Nandi. Nandi also known as Nandikeshwara or Nandideva is the bull vahana of the Hindu god Shiva. Almost all Shiva temples display stone-images of a seated Nandi, generally facing the main shrine. The Sanskrit word nandi has the meaning of happy, joy, and satisfaction, the properties of divine guardian of Shiva- Nandi.

Immerse in the allure of history with this Antique Brass Dragon Statue. This exquisite piece is a testament to the rich heritage and artistry of ancient Indonesia, handcrafted from brass. The statue is a majestic dragon, a popular mascot in Indonesian culture, symbolizing power, strength, and good luck. This statue showcases the intricate craftsmanship of the artisan, with its elaborate design and fine detailing. Originally used in a Balinese tempel, this bronze artwork is now a highly sought-after collectible, admired for its brownish color that beautifully transitions to a subtle green rust over time.

If you look at the photos you will see the patina and state of the old eroded brass which ensure its orginality and age.
