Surya Rutten

Indian & Islamic Art Auction

Golden-bronze colored statue in which Shiva is depicted standing with four arms that hold the two-faced drum, the bowl, the trident, and a sword. On his head he wears a three-tiered crown. It is a bulky, strong figure full of energy that could come from the workshops of Karnataka or Tamil Nadu, more likely the former, given the color of the bronze. The large eyes and the inward-looking expression of his face give it a powerful evocation of divinity.

Bronce de color dorado en donde se representa aShiva de pié con cuatro brazos que sostienen el tambor de dos caras, el cuenco, el tridente y una espada. En su cabeza lleva una corona de tres niveles. Es una figura voluminosa, fuerte y plena de energía que podría venir de los talleres de Karnataka o Tamil Nadu, más bien el primer sitio por el color del bronce. Los grande ojos y la expresión de retiro interior de su cara le prestan un gran poder de evocación de la divinidad.
