This distinguished bronze sculpture depicts Lord Rama, the revered hero of the Ramayana, in a stately standing pose. Cast using the lost-wax method typical of 16th-century Indian metalwork, the figure is rendered in a dignified, balanced stance that epitomizes both divine grace and heroic valor.
Rama is portrayed with serene determination, his countenance reflecting the ideals of dharma and righteousness. One hand is holding the bow, while the other is positioned to suggest the readiness to draw his bow—an attribute that symbolizes his prowess as a warrior and protector of cosmic order. The drapery of his garments is delicately detailed, flowing naturally around his form and enhanced by the refined modeling of musculature and ornamentation.
The sculpture’s surface bears a warm, time-honored patina, accentuating the intricate detailing of facial features, jewelry, and decorative motifs. These elements are characteristic of the artistic finesse achieved by skilled artisans of the period, whose works were integral to both temple iconography and private devotional practice.
An exceptional artifact that encapsulates the spiritual and artistic legacy of 16th-century India, this Standing Bronze Rama is a must-have for connoisseurs of South Asian art.
