Coming from the newar artisanal tradition of 19th century nepal and made using the lost wax technique, this piece illustrates the mastery of nepalese workshops, with refined details such as the finely chiseled armlets, the fluid draping and the majestic attitude of the divinity. There are cavities intended for precious stone inlays, typical of works intended for temples or private commissions. The natural and homogeneous patina of the metal testifies to its great age and remarkable know-how. This piece is an opportunity for collectors and lovers of himalayan art, combining traditional execution and prestigious provenance.
