This Natraj Idol depicts the divine dance of Lord Shiva. This idol is molded from a composite material in which natural Carrara marble powder is mixed with a resin. The resin gives the marble powder an added strength superior to the natural stone. The finished product bears a near identical resemblance to the original hand carved statue. The texture and features are duplicated and the color is a consistent ivory white. Because of the characteristics of the resin material, these bonded marble statues are water proof. It measures 27 inches high by 7 inches wide at the base and 5 inches deep. It weighs 11 pounds. The price includes a $15 packing fee.
