Description

Bronze Shiva Statue – Seated on Tiger Skin, Abhaya Mudra

This old bronze statue depicts Shiva, the great Hindu deity, seated upon a tiger skin in a calm and meditative posture. Shiva is shown with one hand raised in Abhaya Mudra, the gesture of protection and reassurance, symbolizing fearlessness and divine blessing.

The figure is finely detailed with crown, jewelry, and sacred ornaments, emphasizing Shiva’s role as both ascetic and cosmic lord. The tiger skin beneath him represents victory over animalistic impulses and mastery of power, while the serene expression conveys transcendence and inner strength.
