Description Aventurine is a variety of quartz that is known for its unusual texture. It has a natural translucence coupled with a deep shimmer, termed aventurescence. The same is brought out to perfection in the longline Nataraja sculpture that you see on this page. It is a rich green color, which is the natural color of aventurine. A two-tiered plinth was comprising lotus blooms with the pistils against each other. An Apasmara figure of substantial proportions, crushed beneath the feet of Shiva. Nataraja dances on its back, symbolizing the consistent victory of enlightenment over ignorance (‘avidya’, of which Apasmara is personification). The cold quartz medium has been imbued with remarkable dynamism. The chaturbhujadhari Nataraja dances with His hair flying about Him, a world of snakes bouncing around His every curve. A perfectly circular aureole frames the figure steeped in tandava. Zoom in on the face to appreciate the wealth of expression introduced by the skillful hands of the artisan.
