Shiva Nataraj statue made of brass, 15cm

Shiva, whose name means "kind" or "gracious", combines many opposites in himself: he is kind and ominous, meditative and ecstatic, a god of the universe and yet with a preference for certain earthly places such as Mount Kailash and the city of Benares.
Shiva is worshipped in many forms, as a great yogi (Mahayogi) who practices asceticism or devotes himself to meditation, as the great lord of the world or as the lord of the dance, Nataraja, who dances away ignorance beneath his feet and destroys everything that is not based on truth and love. The great period of purification currently taking place on our planet is thus symbolized by Shiva Nataraja.

Material: brass, approx. 15 cm, approx. 420 g
