Porcelain sculpture depicting Lord Hanuman, the Lord of the Apes, a revered Hindu deity.
Lord Hanuman is one of the most venerated deities in Hindu mythology. Known as the monkey god, he is a central character in 'Ramayana', one of India’s most important ancient epics. Famous for his unwavering devotion to the god Rama, one of the avatars of Vishnu, Hanuman is revered as a symbol of loyalty and courage. Son of Vayu, God of the wind, he possesses incredible physical strength and extraordinary power.
The sculpture of Lord Hanuman is a complex work requiring over thirty fragments. Fifteen different colours were used in the decoration, including metallic tones and golden and pearlescent lustres. In addition, Hanuman is adorned with a garland of 112 white flowers, 166 green leaves and 5 roses, all handcrafted petal by petal. Equally of note are the minute etchings used to recreate the helmet, crown and jewellery.
Lord Hanuman in porcelain is a monumental work that measures up to the deity it represents.
