A Nepalese statue of the Hindu Goddess Saraswati. The serene dvibhujadharini (the one possessed of two arms) strums the veena, whose long and slender stem resembles the beauteous torso of its divine mistress. Such a Saraswati statue is indicative of Her role as the presiding deity over aesthetics, learning, and the fine arts.
This Saraswati murti has an interesting colour scheme. Of that deeply immersed face and the perfectly aligned figure, the complexion is pale, solid green. The strip of fabric across Her bosom, the embroidered dhoti that clothes Her limbs, and the veena in Her hands are a shade darker with metallic overtones of gold.
In this Saraswati murti, the Devi is seated on a high lotus throne featuring two layers of gold-bellied petals. Her handsome, sharp-featured face is framed by a style of crown that is characteristic of Nepalese iconography, long karnakundalas that graze Her delicate shoulders, and a necklace that sets off the shapely decolletage.
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. 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.
