Description from the seller
Lost Wax Cast Brass Alloy Artifact — Fascinating brass statuette depicting Panchamukhi Hanuman, the five-faced form of Hanuman, one of the most important and venerated figures in Hindu tradition. Hanuman, the monkey-faced deity and protagonist of the epic Ramayana, is traditionally associated with strength, courage, loyalty, and devotion. In the particular Panchamukhi iconography, the figure features five faces arranged around the central head, symbolizing the different manifestations and protective qualities of the deity. The sculpture shows Hanuman seated in a composed pose, surrounded by numerous arms that hold different ritual and symbolic attributes. Among these, the characteristic gada, the mace traditionally associated with Hanuman, is visible beside the figure. The composition is further enhanced by the broad circular halo behind the five heads and by the rich decoration of the garments, jewelry, and ornaments. The brass workmanship creates a luminous surface with warm golden tones, highlighting the complex iconographic apparatus. An interesting object of Indian decorative and religious art, suitable both for a collection dedicated to Oriental culture and as a decorative element with strong symbolic meaning.
