Bronze Statues IN ANTIque MEDIEVAL STYLE
OUR BRONZE STATUES WERE MADE BY PASSIONATE CRAFTSMEN IN LOVE WITH THE MEDIEVAL STYLE OF STATUE MAKING, A STYLE WHICH IS MORE AND MORE CHALLENGING TO FIND WITHIN THE KATHMANDU VALLEY.
IN MEDIEVAL TIMES, NEWARI CRAFTSMEN WERE FAMOUS FOR THEIR BEAUTIFULLY CARVED BUDDHIST AND HINDU STATUES WITH DELICATE FEATURES AND SIMPLE ORNAMENTS.
Of Tibeto-Burmese origin, the Newars have adorned the Kathmandu valley with temples of unique architecture, set with frescoes and wooden statues of extreme refinement. Their artistitic legacy profoundly shaped and influenced the Himalayan arts.
All our products are the fruit of the ancestral knowledge that the Newars have passed down from generation to generation over the centuries.
