Shiva Statue - Antique Thai Style Bronze Standing Lopburi Shiva Statue - 23cm/9"

Shiva Statue - Antique Thai Style Bronze Standing Lopburi Shiva Statue - 23cm/9" Measures (Height) 23cm/9" An antique Thai‑style bronze Shiva, standing four‑armed in serene poise and rendered in an Lopburi idiom with clear Khmer influence. The deity stands in samabhanga on a small rectangular base, his compact, upright posture conveying both royal authority and quiet spiritual strength. Shiva’s face is calmly composed, with downcast eyes, subtly arched brows and a firm mouth that together suggest introspection and watchful presence. He wears a tall conical crown with flame motif, paired with a broad necklace and layered ornaments that frame the chest and shoulders. The pleated lower garment falls in fine vertical ridges around the legs, and a gently curving sash loops across the hips, adding rhythm and movement to the otherwise steady stance. The four hands, hold a Gada, sutra, mala beads and conch shell characteristic Shaivite attributes, maintaining a sense of latent power and blessing. The subtle third eye on the forehead marks him unmistakably as Shiva, the Three‑Eyed Lord associated with transcendence, inner vision and the dissolution of illusion. A softly varied green‑brown patina enriches the surface, highlighting edges of jewellery and folds of cloth and giving the piece a warm, time‑worn character. Combining Thai sculptural elegance with Hindu iconographic depth, this standing Shiva is an evocative object for collectors of Southeast Asian bronze art. It makes a striking yet contemplative centrepiece for a shelf, console or altar, bringing a sense of balance, quiet authority and timeless sacred style into any home, office or dedicated meditation space.
