Description

It really is a rare oportunity to see a temple bronze of such heavy casting and unusual big in size.

The dipiction Umamaheshvara shows Shiva - Maheshvara - together with his consort Parvati - Uma - astride the bull Nandi, Shivas vahana.

This bronze is made of four single parts: prabhavali (back plate), bhadrapeetham (base), Nandi and Umamahesvara. There is no damage or loss and the condition is as fine as we ever could expect from a temple piece that was in worship for generations.
