This magnificent and rare statue, dating back to the early 20th century, is a highly sought-after collector's item, capable of enhancing any display case or setting with its exotic allure and profound expressive power.

Subject and Style: The work depicts a dynamic battle scene from Hindu mythology (likely the Ramayana), with the divine Rama towering over and dominating his demonic antagonist. The two figures, sculpted in a complex balance of poses, are finely detailed with traditional armor in relief, bows, and evocative pointed headdresses.

Material and Finish: The sculpture is crafted using the refined lost-wax bronze casting technique. The greatest value of this piece lies in its splendid double finish: a deep antique green patina for the flesh tones, which contrasts beautifully with the sumptuous original gilding applied by hand to the robes and armor.
