AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Standing Shiva, heavy bronze statue

gewicht 3000 gram
H 36 cm
B 14 cmd 10 cm

Identity and Symbolism
Four-armed Deity: The figure is depicted with four arms, a traditional feature for major Hindu and Buddhist deities.
Avalokiteshvara / Lokeshvara: Within the Southeast Asian tradition, this particular standing pose with a high, layered bun often points to Avalokiteshvara (the Bodhisattva of Compassion). In his hands he holds attributes, such as a lotus bud.
Harihara or Vishnu: The statue also shares features with Harihara (a fusion of Shiva and Vishnu) or Vishnu himself, recognizable by the regal bearing and attributes.

Artistic Features and Attire
Jatamukuta (Crown): The head is adorned with a tall, cone-shaped and richly detailed crown or hair construction.
Prabhavali (Aureole): Behind the head and shoulders is a large, oval halo with subtle flame- or leaf-motifs along the edge, underscoring the deity’s status.

The object is cast in bronze (or a similar copper alloy). It has a dark brown to blackish patina, caused by oxidation or an artificial antique finish to give the statue a historic and well-worn appearance. The figure stands on a double, inverted lotus throne (padmasana), resting on a square, stepped base.

Clothing (Dhoti): The figure wears a long, close-fitting ceremonial sarong (dhoti). The front is provided with a very detailed, downward-hanging decorative sash with geometric and floral Majapahit patterns.

Jewelry: Around the neck hangs a wide, ornate necklace (upavita), combined with thick bracelets on the upper and lower arms.

Seller's Story

Passion for Art, Antiques, and Collectibles. Always enthusiastically searching for interesting and beautiful Collectibles in Antiques, Art, Curiosities, Design & Vintage at markets, auctions, and estate sales. I am fascinated by the story and history behind the various objects and their makers. The aim is to give these beautiful objects a new place among enthusiasts for their collection or to enhance their interior. Started this dream as a sole proprietorship in 2018. And of course, there is the love for the French Bulldog: Pip and especially successor Chouffe. That's why they are included again in my logo.
