Kama Sutra

This sculpture depicts two crowned deities in sacred embrace, rendered in the classical tantric tradition found across South and Southeast Asian temple art — a motif representing the union of consciousness and energy, wisdom and compassion. Cast in bronze and finished with a deep, natural verdigris patina, the piece carries the unmistakable weight and detail of genuine antique craftsmanship: individually modelled crowns, beaded jewellery, and flowing sashes, each traced in warm gilt that catches the light against the cooler tone of the aged bronze beneath.

The figures sit atop a lotus-form base, its petals radiating outward in traditional relief — a symbol of purity and spiritual awakening in the iconography this piece draws from. One figure holds a ceremonial trident and bell, attributes tied to specific deity forms within this tradition, rendered with the same fine, hand-finished detail as the rest of the work.

This is a genuine antique piece, sourced as a singular find rather than reproduced or cast anew. Its particular patina, gilt wear, and surface character exist in this one object alone.
