The dancing form of Lord Shiva is a symbolic synthesis of the most important aspects of Hinduism.  This representation was developed in southern India by 9th and 10th century artists in a series of beautiful bronze sculptures.  The dance of Shiva symbolizes the cosmic cycles of creation and destruction . . .  including the daily rhythm of birth and death.

This is a quality casting of this traditional statue.

 

For the VERY Serious Collector of Hindu artwork!
