AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

DESCRIPTION

Beautiful and heavy Indian bronze statue depicting a sacred dancer (devadasi); it is probably an idealized artistic interpretation inspired by the art of Southern India, and not a specific goddess.

The body is shown performing a graceful movement, with realistically detailed ornaments (jewelry, hairstyle, sari) as well as the objects held in her hands (bell and ritual accessory).

Height with the base: 42.5 cms
Height without the base: 34 cms
Weight: 4.2 kgs

Second half of the 20th century.

Magnificent workmanship, beautiful dark patina, antique and very decorative object.

It is presented on a lacquered wooden base.

CONDITION

Good condition for an object of this era, tiny casting flaws, the base bears traces of its age but is stable and solid (see photos)

Professional packaging, traceable and insured shipping.
