This bronze image of Nataraja is in the chatura-tandava pose. The three-eyed and four-armed Shiva is dancing with his right foot placed on the demon of ignorance, Apasmara. The rear right hand holds the damaru and the front right hand is in abhqya-mudra, with a serpent coiled around the forearm. The loops extending at the side were used as support when these bronze images were taken out on ceremonial processions, as mobile shrines with deities.
