Vintage Indian bronze plaque VIRABHADRA

Description

Vintage Indian bronze votive plaque of standing 4-armed Virabhadra holding various weapons including a dagger, a club and a bow. Virabhadra is a form of Shiva who created him as a henchman in his struggle with Daksha. He holds sword and shield in his front hands, and a bow and arrow in the back ones. To his right with hands in anjali mudra stands Daksha with the head of a goat, and to the left Sati, the wife of Shiva. I believe the plaque to be a vintage copy of an older piece: nicely made, has presence, pleasant patina to the surface. Size 7.5 x 4.375 inches.
