Religious & Spiritual Figurines & Sculptures

This carefully sculpted brass image depicts apsara in an iconic position, one leg raised backward, symbolizing how they float in the heavens. An Aspara is a protector of vital energy that escapes from the body of a dead warrior. Apsaras are said to have been created after a thousand-year effort to extract Amrita, Kshirodadhi's nectar of immortality, the sea of milk, by Vishnu in coalition with Vasuki, king of Nagas the tortoise Akupara, an avatar of Vishnu.
