An Embodiment of Divine Grace and Power

This exquisite brass statue captures the divine essence of Lord Shiva in a dynamic and captivating form. The deity is depicted standing tall, poised as Vrishvahana, meaning "one who rides the bull," though the bull itself is not depicted in this particular representation. Instead, the focus is on Shiva's powerful and graceful presence, adorned with intricate detailing that speaks to the artisan's skill and devotion. The statue stands at approximately 11 inches, making it a substantial and impactful piece for any sacred space or contemplative corner.

The Serpent's Embrace: Symbolism and Significance

A striking feature of this statue is the serpent adorning Lord Shiva's head, intricately crafted to resemble a turban. The serpent, or Naga, holds deep symbolic meaning in Hinduism. It represents Kundalini energy, the primal, dormant spiritual power within all beings. By wearing the serpent, Shiva signifies his mastery over primal forces, his detachment from worldly illusions, and his control over fear and ego. The serpent also symbolizes eternity, cosmic energy, and the cyclical nature of time. In Hindu mythology, Vasuki, the king of Nagas, played a crucial role in the churning of the cosmic ocean (Samudra Manthan) to obtain the nectar of immortality. Shiva's embracing of the serpent as adornment underscores his cosmic role as the destroyer and transformer, essential for the cycle of creation.

Artistry in Brass: A Timeless Tribute

Crafted from high-quality brass, this statue boasts a rich patina that highlights the meticulous craftsmanship. The traditional casting techniques used ensure a durable and timeless piece, imbued with the spirit of sacred art. Every curve, every detail, from the intricate patterns on the headdress to the subtle musculature of the divine form, has been rendered with precision and care. The subtle interplay of light and shadow on the brass surface brings the statue to life, evoking a sense of reverence and awe. This piece is not merely an object of decoration but a conduit to the divine, a testament to the enduring artistic traditions that have preserved and celebrated Hindu deities for centuries. Its substantial feel and the cool touch of the brass invite contemplation and meditation, allowing the viewer to connect with the profound symbolism and spiritual energy embodied by Lord Shiva.

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.
