Antique Bronze Statue Hanuman with Sanjivani Parvat

This is a very good quality bronze statue of good size depicting the Hindu deity Hanuman holding Sanjivani Parvat in his left hand. Sanjivani Parvat or Sanjivani Mountain was a mythical mountain mentioned in the Hindu epic Ramayana. It is believed to possess a life-restoring herb, Sanjeevani Booti, which can revive the dead. Lord Hanuman, while searching for this herb to save the life of Lakshmana was unable to identify it and carried the entire mountain back to Lanka, according to the legend. This bronze sculpture displays the traditional features of Hanuman with his monkey face and long tail. These sculptures are popular for religious and decorative purposes representing the deity known for strength devotion and loyalty. This bronze is particularly well cast with a beautiful smooth and tactile finish and a lovely depth of colour and nice patina.
