It is said: He who is rejected by everyone will always find refuge with Shiva. Demons, Vampires, Ghosts and Goblins are feared by all. But they are also the children of Brahma and have as much right to nature as the rest of us. Then there are the ganas, Shiva's companions - ugly, deformed, mis-shaped, they drink and dance as they like, when they like, following no rule of law. The only thing consistent about them is their adoration of Shiva and Shiva's love for them.

A brass mask of an ugly gana, with horns and fangs, seems frightening. Such depictions are mostly found on arches or doorways to temples. The face wears a turban with two curved horns jutting out. The eyes are protruding and cheeks are raised; the tongue hangs out and numerous fangs eject from the mouth. Looped earring hang from the earlobes. There is nothing attractive in the mask. Yet it has a purpose; such masks were hung by rural folk to ward of ghosts and evil spirits. Nowadays, the affluent urbanites use these masks made in different materials to ward off evil eye to safeguard their riches.

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.

 

 

  • 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. 

 

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.
