Very strange Shiva (I think). This piece was given to the grandfather of the previous owner in 1905 in exchange for cleaning out their basement. It looks to be solid cast out of copper. The face has some sort of ceramic material over the copper. The arms - a few have broken and been repaired (a number of times). I cannot guarantee that they will not need repairing again. He is extremely heavy for his size. He is large-exact size to follow. Very beautiful design on the copper plate on the bottom.
