Country Group: The Himalayas (Tibet, Nepal, Mongolia and Other)
Exquisite Antique Nepalese Shiva and Pavarti. One of my favorite traditional depictions of the two of them together-truly as a loving, equal couple. Note the finesse of the sculpting and the care and attention put into the details. Also note the crispness to the casting and finishing. Late 19th/early 20thC. From fine old estate collection of high end Indian and Nepalese Bronzes. This piece measures 7 7/8" tall at its highest point and quite heavy, as it is really a double statue as it has 2 full size figures. In 25 years I've only had one other of this type that was remotely as nice.
