Bronze Vinadhara Thin Shiva 33"

Special Features:  This piece has a very unique style to it.  There are many examples of Shiva in this form however never have we seen him quite like this.  He is tall and thin.   His hips, unlike other examples of Shiva, are thin and manly rather than womanly.  His face has a  lean,  long and has a youthful appearance.  Shiva looks like a true Indian thin man!  His legs are long and thin.  There is some oxidation on his legs which add to the character of the piece.  Oxidation is natural and is not damaging the piece.  In this pose Shiva is known as Vinadhara (translated "Veena Player"), the Lord of Music.  A title he borrows from Saraswati.  The pose is called is called "Veena Player" because Shiva's two front hands are in the position they would be if he was playing a veena or guitar.  The veena is missing as it is in all Vinadhara sculpture.  In Shiva's other two hands he holds an axe as well as a deer.  The deer shows how all animals see Shiva as their lord and revere him.

Care:  The piece can be used both indoors and outdoors.  Dust the piece regularly.  If you would like the piece to shine use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or other natural oil to wipe down the statue.
