Petite Antique Nepalese Brahma Statue
$385.00
This small, antique brass statue is a beautiful testament to a rich spiritual tradition. Likely of Indian or Nepalese origin and dating to the mid 20th century, this petite figure is a multi-headed deity, a powerful symbol of creation and the all-seeing nature of the divine. Its form, with multiple arms and hands, one of which holds a small vessel, stands on an elegant lotus-like pedestal. The dark, aged patina and intricate details give the piece a sense of authenticity and a life of reverence.
Originally a devotional piece for a home altar or shrine, the small bowl was meant to hold oil and a wick, serving as a ritualistic offering lamp. In a modern home, this statue can be a striking sculptural accent on a bookshelf or mantel, where it can bring a powerful sense of purpose and tranquility to your space.
