“ऊभौ मे दक्षिणो पाणी गांडीवस्य विकर्षणे

तेन देवमनुष्येषु सव्यसाचीत मां विदुः”

In the Virat Parva of the Mahabharata, says Arjuna, “I can pull the cord of my Gandeeva (bow) with both left and right hand, which is why gods and humans know me as Savyasachi (ambidextrous)”.

The legendary archer of Mahabharata appears in this brass statue in a dynamic pose suited for the warrior- powerful yet not forceful. The art of archery comes naturally to him.

Framed by the ornate towering crown, the face of Arjuna is marked by eyes shaped like cowries and long tresses visible on the reverse. The lids of his eyes are almost closed. The perfect archer sees not with the human eyes, but with the sight found within.

Though his legs can not be seen fully in the art, the posture suggests an equal distribution of weight on both feet, highlighted further by the symmetrical fall of the tassels of his waistband.

A discernible smile on his face evokes the persona of a warrior who is self-assured. This is the face of someone who already knows victory will be his.

Arjuna: The Divine Archer

This exquisite brass sculpture captures Arjuna, the third Pandava brother from the epic Mahabharata, in a moment of poised grace and deadly accuracy. Known as Sabyasachi ("the one with beautiful arrows"), Arjuna was renowned throughout the ancient world for his unparalleled archery skills, honed through years of rigorous training and divine blessings. This statue vividly portrays him in the midst of drawing his bow, the intensity in his gaze hinting at the power and precision he wields. The intricate details, achieved through the ancient lost-wax casting technique, bring the legendary warrior to life. The patina of the brass lends a sense of age and history, mirroring the epic tale itself. This piece is more than just an artifact; it's a window into India’s rich mythological past.

The Legend of Sabyasachi

Arjuna’s mastery of archery wasn't merely skill; it was divinely ordained. He was blessed by the celestial teacher, Drona, and received the celestial weapons, including the Pashupatastra, from Lord Shiva. The Mahabharata narrates many instances of his miraculous archery prowess – from winning Draupadi's hand in swayamvara (a contest to choose a husband) by hitting the eye of a fish without seeing it, to raining arrows on the Kaurava army during the Kurukshetra War. His skill, coupled with his unwavering devotion, transformed him into a symbol of righteousness and skill. This statue embodies that devotion, perfectly capturing his focused determination and unmatched skill.

Craftsmanship and Material

This exceptional statue is crafted using the traditional lost-wax casting method, a testament to the enduring artistry of India. This ancient technique involves creating a wax model of the sculpture, covering it in clay, melting out the wax, and then pouring molten brass into the resulting mold. The result is a piece of breathtaking detail and precision. The sculpture is further enhanced by the use of wood for its base, providing a subtle yet elegant contrast to the richly detailed brass. The combination of brass and wood creates a striking visual appeal and adds a touch of rustic elegance, emphasizing its handcrafted nature. The dimensions, 18.0 x 13.2 x 4.0 inches, make it a statement piece, suitable for display in any home or office.

A Timeless Piece of Art

This Arjuna sculpture is more than just a decorative item; it's a piece of living history, a tangible link to ancient Indian mythology and artistic traditions. It serves as a powerful reminder of Arjuna’s strength, devotion and the enduring power of the Mahabharata's narrative. It stands as a testament to the skill and dedication of the artisans who created it, preserving a legacy that continues to inspire awe and wonder. Whether you are a collector of religious artifacts, a lover of ancient art, or simply someone who appreciates exceptional craftsmanship, this statue will be a captivating and treasured addition to your collection. It's an opportunity to own a piece of history, a work of art that encapsulates centuries of Indian culture and mythology.
