The tree is of especial importance in the Indian value system. It stands for all that is sattvic and espouses steadiness. It is known for its strength and stability, and how generous it is with its fruit and shade and being.
Needless to say, it is a life-affirming symbol in Indian visual arts and makes for a fitting backdrop for any Hindu-Buddhist deity (Vishnu-avataras Krishna and Buddha first come to mind).
The life-giving tree that you see on this page is sculpted from pure brass. It features a wide-set stem with a lifelike, textured surface. From the bark emerges four branches, which further sub-branches into a luxuriant, perfectly symmetrical canopy. Each leaf, despite the scale, has been sculpted with punishing attention to detail. Should you zoom in on them, the venation and the hyper-realistic silhouette would become discernible.
This tree is poised along the backward edge of a solid block of wood. As such, it would make a fitting plinth for a standing or a seated deity of your choice, depending on the proportion. Think, the solitary tribhanga murari or a Radha-Krishna ensemble or even the Buddha in the bhoomisparsha stance. Let us know in the reviews section how you make the most of your purchase!

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.

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.
