Finished in earthy green interspersed with hints of gold, like in Her crown and shringar and raiment, one may perceive in this work an anima figure (for men), a role model (for women), and a Devi (for both). However, the Green Tara is after all indefinable; ungraspable as She is, She is none of, and more than, these things. Her transcendental compassion could be gleaned from the beauty and tenderness writ on the features of Her face, which is replete with the golden glimmer of the third eye, framed by a superbly crafted crown and kundalas that graze Her shoulders. What sets this Green Tara apart from the usual bodhisattva sculptures is the wooden pedestal that She is seated on in deep dhyana. The dark finish and the multiple tiers lend to the composition a world of elegance.

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.

• The best and simplest way to maintain a brass statue is to clean it at least twice a week using a soft cloth or cotton rag. This will prevent dust from accumulating on the surface. Dusting is especially important for outdoor statues since it is prone to dust accumulation much more than indoors.

• Another way is to cleanse the statue with mild soap, warm water, and a cotton cloth. You must go to every inch of the statue and even to the crevices and cracks. After this, clean the article with a dry towel to wipe off pools of water left on the surface.

• To give a natural shine and luster to the statue, you may apply coconut or olive oil using cotton on every portion. You can use a toothbrush to get to the small crevices but do not be too harsh. This will make the brass statue appear fresh and new with a polished look.

• 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.
