A fine Hindu temple finial
India, 17th century
Cast bronze cusp for a temple dome.
Made using lost-wax bronze casting, this dome finial from a mandir served as an identifying emblem of the traditional Hindu temple. The finial is the principal symbol of sacred architecture and embodies the aesthetic allure of the grandeur of Indian temples in the highest Hindu religious tradition.
