Bronze figure of a dancing Apsara

Have you ever been seduced; wrapped inside a cocoon of beguilement and overcome by temptation? Have you ever acted without regret or fear, unfettered by rational thinking, knowing the outcome of your actions might not even be desirable? If so, what was the lure – food, money, sex, or something less obvious? It is the nature of desire to give sight and take it away, cast confusion as well as clarity, and inspire us to take risks or play it safe; in short, to weave a spell – and in the mythological world desire is personified by sensuous female beings called Apsara, who are really nymphs, muses and angels.

Since ancient times Apsara have been the personification of desire

This week’s New Arrival features a bronze statue of an Apsara. Considering what she represents, it is only fitting that she is dancing. After all, dance is a major form of seduction. However, go past her animated form and consider your desires. Odds are they have changed, for our desires are different at 20, 40, 60 and beyond. This also makes sense, for Apsaras are known as shape-shifters capable of representing and tempting us with many desires; and if one doesn’t cast a strong enough spell then another will. Now look at this piece again. It’s an enduring reminder of how easy it is to become spellbound!
