Copper Made Shiva Tandava Sculpture |
The local word 'li' is a versatile
syllable. It designates a vast range of metals, of diverse origins, levels of
refinement, and blends that constitute a medium of sculpture in the region (Central
Asia, Kashmir, Tibet, and Nepal). Done using either repousse (hammering and
putting into shape) or lost wax casting (pouring molten li into a clay cast to
replace the wax within), most of the art that is produced in this part of the
world draws from the Hindu and Buddhist faiths. This one is a fine example of
the same. Sculpted from copper, an elite medium for the visual arts when compared
to brass, it depicts Lord Shiva in the midst of Shiva
Tandav Statue.
There
is so much about this unusual composition that conforms to the iconography of
this much-venerated deity. His dense locks are gathered atop His head, upon
which is the distinct roop of Devi Ganga and secured with a sliver of the moon.
Myth has it that She descended onto the North Indian plains from the tresses of
the lord, sweeping it with abundance and fertility. The hem of the loincloth
grazes His knee, leaving the rest of the legs bare. On one hand is the
characteristic trishool, the all-important damroo in the other. Beneath His
dancing feet is the skin of a tiger brought to its knees by the lord. Note the
snakes that are coiled around His ankles and neck, the stripes of vibhooti that
grace His brow, and the superbly pronounced composure of countenance, putting
together a picture of overpowering ferocity.
