A superb Ganesha murti in brass medium. Pure brass that gives off the colour of earthen gold. The son of Shiva-Parvati is seated in a childlike stance on a bed of lotus petals. He is the baala-devata (child-deity) of the Hindu Pantheon, characteristic innocence and wisdom pouring forth from His stance and composure of countenance.
Along the front of the seat of lotus petals is a miniscule tray piled high with laddoos, the Lord’s favourite Indian sweetmeat. Also the mouse, His devoted vahana. The composition described heretofore is supported on a three-legged plinth carved with lotus petals. On either side a traditional Hoysala-style lampstand to throw illumination upon the divine.
Speaking of Hoysala, there are numerous hallmarks of South Indian period aesthetics in this composition. The luxuriantly engraved gajayali lead to a superbly ornate archway. Interestingly, as opposed to Kirtimukham, the face of the sun god graces the zenith of the same.
How to keep a Brass statue well-maintained?
Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.
Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.
In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth.
Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
