Lord Nataraja
This dancing deity is the eye-catching centre of any elegant room and is a symbol of potency & power!
The dance the smiling Shiva is performing is the Tandava, the cosmic dance which both creates and destroys the universe. Shiva is providing his own music, as in his upper right hand he holds a small drum – the damaru (usually taking the shape of an hour-glass) – which provides not only rhythm, but also reminds that it was this drum which made the first sounds of the creation. Conversely, in Shiva’s upper left hand he holds agni, the divine fire, which will destroy the universe.

Care
Brass's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. The metal can stand up to the harshest conditions of heat and bitter cold. We suggest you bathe the sculpture every couple of months so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture and then use a cotton cloth with some natural oil to give the statue a shine.
If you are really interested in making the statue shine you can use some natural oil, like coconut oil or olive oil, and a cotton rag to wipe down the metal portions of the piece. You can use a toothbrush as well to get into the small crevices of the statue like the hands and hair.
