Images of Ganesha in sacred spaces and homes have forever been the guardians and protectors of auspiciousness. Inspired by the archaic iconography of Hindu temples, this wooden wall panel presents three aspects of Ganapati- Shakti Ganapati or Ganesha with his female energy who unite to create the Universe and bless all beings with their presence.
Trimukha Ganapati or the three-headed Ganesha who protects the devotees from all troubles and Srishti Ganapati, who is the supreme being who is in the beginning, stability and annihilation of the Universe and the root of all activities. Two guardians stand on either side of the Ganeshas, in graceful poses, accompanied by Mayura or peacock, a bird associated with Ganesha as his mount and an ancient symbol of divinity and royalty in Hindu art.
How to care for Wood Statues?
Wood is extensively used in sculpting especially in countries like China, Germany, and Japan. One feature that makes the wood extremely suitable for making statues and sculptures is that it is light and can take very fine detail. It is easier for artists to work with wood than with other materials such as metal or stone. Both hardwoods, as well as softwood, are used for making sculptures. Wood is mainly used for indoor sculptures because it is not as durable as stone. Changes in weather cause wooden sculptures to split or be attacked by insects or fungus. The principal woods for making sculptures and statues are cedar, pine, walnut, oak, and mahogany. The most common technique that sculptors use to make sculptures out of wood is carving with a chisel and a mallet. Since wooden statues are prone to damage, fire, and rot, they require proper care and maintenance.
It is extremely important to preserve and protect wooden sculptures with proper care. A little carelessness and negligence can lead to their decay, resulting in losing all their beauty and strength. Therefore, a regular clean-up of the sculptures is a must to prolong their age and to maintain their shine and luster.
