About the Item

Step into the realm of sacred artistry with this Antique Copper Repoussé panel of Virabhadra, an 18th-century Indian masterpiece that captures the divine ferocity and spiritual grandeur of Hindu mythology. Crafted in intricate repoussé copper, this striking panel measures 24 cm high, 17.5 cm wide, and 10.1 cm deep, embodying the skilled metalwork traditions of India’s artisan communities. Depicting Virabhadra—the fearsome manifestation of Shiva born from the deity’s wrath—the piece radiates dramatic energy, with meticulously hammered details highlighting the deity’s dynamic posture, multiple arms, and symbolic attributes, such as weapons and ritual objects. Originating from India during a period of flourishing temple art, this 18th-century relic exemplifies the repoussé technique, where artisans painstakingly shaped the copper from the reverse side to create raised, three-dimensional motifs, a method revered for its precision and expressive power. Weighing 609 grams, the panel balances substantial craftsmanship with portability, suggesting its possible use in ceremonial settings or as a devotional object in private shrines. The aged patina and subtle wear on the gilded copper surface evoke centuries of reverence, while the subject matter ties it to stories of cosmic destruction and rebirth central to Shaivite traditions. Ideal for collectors of Asian religious art or admirers of Hindu iconography, this panel offers a tangible link to India’s spiritual heritage and the virtuosity of its metalworkers. With its museum-worthy preservation and profound cultural narrative, this Virabhadra repoussé panel stands as both an artistic triumph and a sacred artifact, inviting contemplation of mythology, devotion, and the timeless allure of Indian craftsmanship.
