It is an amazing technical act that the metal artist could portray Shiva dancing with one leg thrown up and barely balancing on the tow of the other and still preserve the absolute beauty of the dance proportionally and with restraint. It should be considered a marvel.
From; "The Great Tradition of Indian Bronze Masterpieces"
Shiva holds a trident, 2 cobras, a dhamru or drum and a vessel with Agni or fire blazing in it. He wears a beautiful head dress with a 5 hooded serpent over head. Shiva dances on the body of a demon dwarf named Apasmara. Apasmara represents ignorance and mindlessness. Apasmara tries to hinder all people from freeing themselves from the circle of reincarnation. The fiery ring surrounding Shiva, the prahabhamandala, represents the universe with all of its illusion, suffering and pain.
