Description
Central Asia, India, ca. 19th century CE. Cast via the lost wax (cire perdue) process, a depiction of Shiva holding attributes in four arms as he squats upon an integral pedestal. Shiva, also known as Mahadeva ("Great God"), is a popular Hindu deity and regarded as one of the primary forms of God. He is the Supreme God within Shaivism, one of the three most influential denominations in contemporary Hinduism. He is one of the five primary forms of God in the Smarta tradition, and "the Destroyer" or "the Transformer" among the Trimurti, the Hindu Trinity of the primary aspects of the divine. A wonderful piece with openwork attachments on the back of the pedestal, perhaps for inserting incense. Size: 2" W x 4" H (5.1 cm x 10.2 cm)
