At its heart, a ten-armed Shiva rides serenely upon Nandi, the sacred bull, while two kneeling Teppanom celestial guardians keep watch in eternal prayer. The bronze wears a soft green patina threaded with the warm glint of original gilding, the kind of surface money simply cannot fake. Cast in the Rattanakosin manner and stamped on its cinnabar-red base with the Garuda seal of the Royal Workshops, this is a piece with a pedigree and a presence. From a private collection, and rather reluctant to be sold, one suspects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling \u0026amp; Collectors Inspiration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the sort of group that anchors a room. Set the trio on a console against a deep teal or ochre wall, let a single warm spotlight catch the gilt, and watch it do the work of an entire gallery.
