The artist pays homage to the rich tradition of Egyptian attire, adorning the dancer in intricately elaborated garments. A headpiece, etched with gems and beads, cascades to her shoulders, adding an air of sophistication to her appearance. Over her breasts, two round fabric pieces embellished with beads create an ornate focal point, and beaded tassels gracefully hang from it. The costume further includes a beaded cord around her waist, with an extravagantly embellished draping that falls in a fan-like manner, reaching her knees. This attention to detail reflects a commitment to authenticity in capturing the essence of Egyptian dress.
Handcrafted using the ancient "Lost Wax Method," this sculpture is made of 100% bronze with a two-tone brown patina, contributing to its timeless and enduring quality. The use of this traditional casting technique allows for intricate details to be preserved, from the flowing garments to the gemmed bangles adorning the dancer's wrists and upper arms. The signature "Chiparus" adds quality to this masterpiece, recognizing the artist's skill in bringing to life the beauty and grace of an Egyptian woman dancer. Displayed as a focal point, this sculpture invites viewers to appreciate the artistry and cultural significance encapsulated within its form.
