Revered across Indonesia, India, Thailand, Cambodia, and beyond, Rama is celebrated as the embodiment of honor, courage, loyalty, and righteousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 1em 0;\"\u003eCaptured in a dynamic archer's stance, the figure conveys a sense of focus and determination. Bow in hand, Rama stands ready to defend justice and uphold the moral order that lies at the heart of the Ramayana. Every element of the composition reflects the qualities that have made him a symbol of noble leadership for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 1em 0;\"\u003eThe Ramayana arrived in Java more than a thousand years ago through trade, cultural exchange, and the spread of Hindu traditions across Southeast Asia. Its stories became deeply woven into Javanese culture, inspiring temple reliefs, shadow puppet performances, court literature, and works of sacred art. Even today, the tale remains one of the most enduring cultural treasures of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 1em 0;\"\u003eWhat makes this piece especially compelling is its surface. The bronze has acquired a richly textured patina over time, creating layers of color and character that speak of age, history, and craftsmanship. These natural variations give the sculpture a distinctive presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 1em 0;\"\u003eThe statue comes complete on its blackened metal support and with its printed story inside a refined envelope. As a natural characteristic of bronze, the patina may continue to evolve subtly over time, developing gentle variations in tone that are part of the material’s authentic ageing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 1em 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bronze\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Java, Indonesia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early 20th century\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIconography:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rama, hero of the Ramayana\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions including the metal support:\u003c\/strong\u003e ca 26.5 x 17 x 7cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe ship worldwide.
