Cast in the 1950s, this hand-cast brass Nataraja embodies Lord Shiva — the eternal yogi, cosmic dancer, and great transformer of Hindu tradition. Originating from India, the piece carries both devotional artistry and the timeless symbolism of one of the most revered deities.
The solid brass has developed a deep, natural patina from decades of ritual use and offering. Every curve of the figure — from Shiva’s flowing locks to the poised mudra encircled by fire — was cast to reflect the eternal cycle of dissolution, renewal, and transcendence.

Note on Sacred Objects
Our pieces often originate in Buddhist traditions, yet their essence is universal. You do not need to be Buddhist — nor hold any specific beliefs — to welcome them into your life. These objects are not bound to religious worship; they are reminders of awareness, compassion, and our shared connection as human beings. Whether worn, carried, or placed in your space, they serve as anchors for mindfulness and presence — a quiet reminder of the truth that we are all connected.
