The one in this composition has been carved out of the lotus pedestal on which She is seated, its leaf-laden stem curving down the frontal midline. She is in a robe of bejewelled crimson and aquamarine, set off by deep blue sashes of delicate fabric floating about Her torso. In addition to the sashes, the luxuriant stems of verdure blooming on either side of Her, the kundalas (danglers) in Her karna (ears), and the wisps of vine that frame Her face are examples of symmetry.

A gorgeous crown sits on the shining black locks of the beauteous Emerald Tara. Quintessential to the iconography of Tibetan Buddhist deities, it is an intricately carved five-spired number. The same is studded with the finest emeralds, rubies, and sapphires that convey the glory of the Khadiravani Bodhisattva. A pale ruby on Her fair brow is indicative of the Enlightened status of the Bodhisattva’s being.

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.

• Another way is to cleanse the statue with mild soap, warm water, and a cotton cloth. You must go to every inch of the statue and even to the crevices and cracks. After this, clean the article with a dry towel to wipe off pools of water left on the surface.

• 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.
