In this form, Shiva embodies the eternal cycle of creation, preservation, and destruction. The statue shows Shiva in a dynamic dance pose with multiple arms and stacked heads, emphasizing the all-encompassing cosmic energy and divine presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe statue is hand-cast in bronze and executed in a Thai or Khmer style, clearly inspired by classic Southeast Asian interpretations of the Nataraja motif. The proportions, posture, and detailing suggest a devotional object of considerable scale, intended for temple use or as a religious centerpiece. The sculpture has a powerful appearance and a convincing physical presence, reinforced by the substantial weight of 11 kg.\n\nThe surface displays a natural, dark patina consistent with aging bronze and prolonged use, without signs of modern decorative finishing. The combination of size, iconography, and craftsmanship makes this statue particularly suitable for serious collectors, temples, yoga studios, or spiritual spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: H 79 × W 47 cm  \u003cbr\u003eWeight: 11 kg  \u003cbr\u003eMaterial: bronze  \u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Thailand (Thai \/ Khmer style)  \u003cbr\u003ePeriod: 19th–20th century\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: 'Georgia', serif; border: 1px solid #b08d57; padding: 20px; background-color: rgba(176,141,87,0.05); border-radius: 5px; margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"color: #b08d57; margin-top: 0; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 1px; font-size: 15px; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(176,141,87,0.3); padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\n    Expertise \u0026amp; Symbolism\n  \u003c\/h4\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"color: #fff; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 12px;\"\u003e\n    Would you like to fully understand the deeper iconographic meaning, the correct mudras and the ritual context of this object?\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/the-hindu-gods-page-sanatana-dharma\" style=\"color: #d4af37; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14px; display: inline-block; border: 1px solid #d4af37; padding: 8px 15px; border-radius: 3px; transition: 0.3s;\"\u003e\n    READ OUR GODS GUIDE →\n  \u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"1stbuddha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56455335248203,"sku":"129","price":1450.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/6170\/5547\/files\/shiva-nataraja-bronzen-beeld-thaise-khmer-stijl-lot-129.jpg?v=1770123042","url":"https:\/\/1stbuddha.com\/products\/shiva-nataraja-large-bronze-dancing-statue-in-thaise-khmer-style-lot-129","provider":"1stbuddha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
