Bronze figure of Nataraja, from Tamil Nadu, southern India, around 1100.Back view of the Hindu god Shiva appearing as the lord of the dance, Nataraja, in a ring of fire. His long ascetic's hair flies out on either side of his head as he performs his dance. Shiva as Nataraja appears at the end of one cosmic cycle and the beginning of the next and is thus associated with creation and destruction.OA 1987.3-14.1
