The lamp that you see on this page would make a superb addition to any traditional Indian home or office. It is a long-stemmed, larger-than-life number featuring five trays. With the multiple wick channels carved into the trays, each of them is designed to function as a composite lamp. The parts of the stem between each pair of trays are sculpted in perfect symmetry with each other and have, somewhat, the silhouette of a stoopa. At the very top is perched a peacock with raised plumage, traditional Indian motifs engraved into its breast and feathers and feet.
Of pure brass make, the most distinguishing aspect of this lamp is the base upon which it stands. The stem beneath the lowermost tray blends into the shell of a tortoise, which is carved with a great deal of precision. A tail and four tiny legs crawl strategically out of the shell, in addition to an upward-turned head. A simplistic, engraved pedestal of the exact size of the body of the tortoise supports the composition.
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.
