The distraught Shiva hoists His lifeless wife up His shoulder. There is no word to describe the suffering of the divine, writ large on the brass-sculpted brow. The insults meted out to Him by Sage Daksha had caused the devoted Sati to immolate Herself; as such, He is beside Himself with grief.
The chaturbhujadhari Shiva is on the verge of breaking into tandava. Beneath the perfect iconography of the exterior, of both the Shiva-murti and the Sati figurine, is a form quivering with powerful expression. Pure brass medium, the radiant colour of gold, accentuates the artisan’s expression.
The pedestal beneath Shiva’s feet is one-third the height of the composition. It is a multi-tiered, ornately engraved work that sets this Shiva-Sati murti apart from run-of-the-mill Shiva figurines.
