EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of artistry from the 11th century - the Repousse mask of Shiva. Crafted by the skilled hands of the Nepalese School, this copper masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 36.5 cm. The mask portrays Shiva, one of Hinduism's most revered deities, with exquisite attention to detail. The face exhibits pursed lips, an elongated nose, and almond-shaped eyes that seem to hold a profound gaze. Finely arched brows add depth and intensity to this divine visage. Adorning Shiva's head is an ornate crown that once boasted gilded accents but now bears remnants of its former glory. This regal accessory further accentuates the god-like aura emanating from this sculpture. Every element in this artwork speaks volumes about the rich cultural heritage and artistic finesse prevalent in ancient Asia. The intricate metalwork involved in creating such a masterpiece through repousse technique is truly awe-inspiring. As we delve into the depths of history through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness not just a mere representation but rather an embodiment of faith and devotion towards Hinduism's male deity - Shiva himself.
