This collection features bronze deities representing the Dashavatara, the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu, highlighting the material's strength and capacity for intricate detail in sculpture.
Beautiful bronze deities of the Dashavatara—Ten Incarnations of Lord Vishnu—include Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana, Parashurama, Rama, Balarama, Krishna, and Kalki. Bronze, a favored material for sculptures, is often used for statues, reliefs, and figurines. Its unique property of expanding slightly before setting ensures that fine details are captured, while its strength and ductility allow for intricate and dynamic figures. However, many ancient bronzes were melted down in times of conflict, making them rarer compared to stone or ceramic works.
