Up for sale from a recent estate in Honolulu Hawaii, th...is 20th century Indian wrought solid bronze sculpture of Shiva Nataraja in the sacred dance of creation and destruction. The God of Dance is standing atop the dwarf of Ignorance Apasmara, while engulfed in an aurora of flames spitting from the mouths of two Makara. As he moves through the 108 forms of movements, his youthful countenance appears lucid and peaceful, he is dancing with a damaru drum in his upper right hand as the Lord of Time; while his upper left hand holds the Agni fire of destruction, which indicates that all worlds come into existence and to an end. As a cobra swirling around his lower right hand as the release of kundalini energy, in sequence to the fearless blessing gesture, his lower left hand is pointing to the raised left foot, which affirms the liberation from worldly existence. The condition is described above for more information please check the photos.

Email me with questions!!! Bid with confidence!!! More pictures are available!!! Items sold as is!!! Shipping: Although Hawaii is part of the United States, it is important to know when purchasing items that shipping times can be a bit longer and shipping charges can be a bit higher than for the US mainland. Please keep this in mind when rating my shipping charges and handling times, as your ratings have immediate discount or listing-standing consequences for me. Thank you for understanding!!! Packing material: I charge you my costs for all packing materials used. However, this is Hawaii and not the continental US, and everything has to be shipped in from out of state. To give you an idea, a shipping box, if it is not a free one from the Post Office, costs between $4 - $9. Bubble wrap costs $1 per foot and I usually use at least 3 or 4 feet or more for breakable items. Foam chips per box (book box size) will be between $8 - $10, and packing tape costs me $3 a small roll.
