Artigianato Tibetano | Statua raffigurante Bhairav

230,00 

Interessante Statuetta ricavata da un osso cavo lavorato ed intagliato manualmente che raffigura Bhairav, o Bhairava, una delle manifestazioni di Shiva legata alla distruzione.
Sacro per indù e buddisti, è conosciuto sia in India – soprattutto in Rajasthan e nel Tamil Nadu – sia in Nepal e Tibet.

Bhairav è la forma più terribile di Shiva, uno dei maggiori dei indù, ed egli stesso può rivelarsi in forme diverse.
Rappresentato nudo, di colore blu scuro o nero ma nelle pitture rituali bianco, Bhairav è adornato da serpenti intrecciati che gli si avvolgono come collana, bracciali, cavigliere ed orecchini. Indossa una pelle di tigre e può avere una veste rituale in ossa umane. I suoi occhi sono roteanti, ha spesso molte braccia ma solo una testa, sulla quale porta una corona con cinque teschi.
A lui vengono rivolte le prime preghiere del mattino, subito dopo l’alba, e nella religione tantrica è l’espressione dello slancio mistico, l’impeto, la collera che si unisce al compimento.

Oggetto molto ricercato e di grande pregio, assolutamente da collezione, è frutto della bravura dell’artigiano che lo ha realizzato, abile nel riprodurre nei più piccoli dettagli una delle figure con l’iconografia più vasta, assai amato e venerato e quindi abbondantemente rappresentato ma non sempre così egregiamente.

La base di appoggio è in legno.

Descrizione

Amazing small Statue in bone carved by hand depicting Bhairav, or Bhairava, one of the manifestations of Shiva linked to destruction.
Sacred to Hindus and Buddhists, Bhairav is known in India – especially in Rajasthan and Tamil – Nepal and Tibet.
Bhairav is the most terrible form of Shiva, one of the major Hindu gods, who also can manifest himself in different forms.
Represented naked, dark blue or black but white in ritual paintings, Bhairav is adorned with serpents that are wrapped around him as necklaces, bracelets, anklets and earrings. He wears a tiger skin and can have a ritual robe made of human bones. His eyes are spinning, he often has many arms but only one head on which he wears a crown with five skulls.
To him are addressed the first prayers in the morning, just after dawn, and in the tantric religion he is the expression of mystic momentum, the impulse, the anger that joins the fulfillment.
Object of great value and highly sought after, collectible item, this piece is the result of the highly skilled artisan who carved it, able to reproduce the smallest detail of one of the figures with the vastest iconography, much loved and revered and so abundantly represented but not always this admirably.
The base plate is made of wood.
