For the devotees of Sri Tirupati Balaji and Vishnu across the world, these divine attributes- Shankha (conch) and Chakra (discus) and his Tilak (forehead mark) are the most sacred and auspicious symbols, representing the omnipresent and eternal guardian of the three realms. This wooden wall hanging becomes a divine symbol, adorned by the three emblems of Vaishnavism.
With traditional colors and meticulous etchings, the weapons of Vishnu have been transformed into aesthetically appealing and stylized motifs, flanked by auspicious leaves with a plain black backdrop, perfectly showcasing the potent symbols of the great preserver.
How to care for Wood Statues?
Wood is extensively used in sculpting especially in countries like China, Germany, and Japan. One feature that makes the wood extremely suitable for making statues and sculptures is that it is light and can take very fine detail. It is easier for artists to work with wood than with other materials such as metal or stone. Both hardwoods, as well as softwood, are used for making sculptures. Wood is mainly used for indoor sculptures because it is not as durable as stone. Changes in weather cause wooden sculptures to split or be attacked by insects or fungus. The principal woods for making sculptures and statues are cedar, pine, walnut, oak, and mahogany. The most common technique that sculptors use to make sculptures out of wood is carving with a chisel and a mallet. Since wooden statues are prone to damage, fire, and rot, they require proper care and maintenance.
It is extremely important to preserve and protect wooden sculptures with proper care. A little carelessness and negligence can lead to their decay, resulting in losing all their beauty and strength. Therefore, a regular clean-up of the sculptures is a must to prolong their age and to maintain their shine and luster.
