This exquisite bronze dancer is a true work of art, handmade with exceptional detail and featuring Egyptian symbols that reflect the period's fascination with the excavation of Tutankhamen's tomb. The natural pairing of the base and sculpture form a cohesive design that adds to the piece's overall beauty.

The dancer is adorned with an extravagant headdress made of metal and jewels, as well as beads falling from her bikini top onto her stomach, exposing her beautifully sculpted torso. Her most striking feature is her detailed skirt, which rises at her thighs and falls longer in between them, with an Egyptian hieroglyphic in the middle. She wears bracelets on her wrist and bangles on her arms, completing the stunning look.

This sculpture is an excellent example of the Art Deco period, created by Romanian-born and Paris-trained artist Demetre H. Chiparus (1886-1947). Chiparus was renowned for his bronze works, which were based on ballet and theatre and always exquisitely detailed. His name can be found at the base of the sculpture.

The sculpture was created using the "Lost Wax Method" and is entirely handmade, ensuring the highest level of quality and craftsmanship. It is a remarkable piece that captures the beauty and allure of the Art Deco era, making it a valuable addition to any collection or space.
