About the Item
Antique South Indian Chola-Style Bronze Goddess Sculpture on Lotus Base
Exquisite bronze sculpture depicting a South Indian goddess in the elegant Chola style, featuring intricate detailing, graceful posture, and a lotus pedestal base—perfect for collectors of fine Indian art and decor.
This bronze sculpture, measuring 11 inches in height and 4 inches in diameter, depicts a finely crafted figure that appears to represent a Hindu goddess or celestial dancer (apsara), commonly seen in South Indian art, particularly from the Chola dynasty period. The figure stands in the elegant tribhanga pose, characterized by three graceful bends in the body, a hallmark of Chola bronzes symbolizing fluidity and movement. Adorned with an ornate headdress, intricate jewelry, and a sacred thread (yajnopavita), the figure’s detailed anatomical rendering and elaborate patterns on the clothing highlight the craftsmanship typical of South Indian bronze sculpture. The raised hand, positioned in a symbolic mudra, and the lowered hand contribute to the overall sense of poise and divinity. The sculpture is elevated on a beautifully designed lotus pedestal, symbolizing purity and spiritual transcendence, further underscoring the religious and cultural significance of the piece.
This stunning 11-inch tall bronze sculpture captures the refined artistry of South Indian Chola-style craftsmanship, known for its fluid lines, intricate ornamentation, and spiritual significance. The figure stands in the classic tribhanga pose, a hallmark of Chola bronzes that symbolizes grace and movement. Detailed carvings on the jewelry, headdress, and draped garments highlight the exceptional skill involved in its creation.
Set upon a beautifully cast lotus pedestal, the sculpture represents purity and divine energy, making it a striking addition to any space. The raised hand gesture (mudra) adds a sense of serenity and poise, reflecting the deep religious and cultural symbolism of the Chola period (9th–13th centuries CE).
A remarkable piece for collectors, interior designers, or anyone with an appreciation for Indian art, this sculpture embodies the elegance and sophistication of South Indian bronze work. Whether displayed as a standalone art object or part of a broader collection, it brings an aura of timeless beauty and spirituality.
