How cool: a genuinely old home altar depicting the gods Shiva and Parvati together. This is a special and rare ensemble that was once fully fire-gilded with 24-carat gold. In protected areas, that gold is still visible today, immediately showing how old and authentic this piece is.
The altar was made in Nepal and dates back to the 18th century, a period when these types of home altars were still cast by hand for daily religious use. Not a decorative piece, but an object that was actually used within a household or small shrine. This is precisely what gives it such a strong and convincing presence.
The compact size, the serene posture of the figures, and the well-worn patina give this piece an enormous amount of character. This is not an average bronze statue, but a rare home altar with a long history and clear spiritual presence. A beautiful object for a serious collector or someone looking for something unique and meaningful.
