For many, this is the image that springs to mind upon mention of the word ‘Buddha’. The poorna padmasana. The fingers of His stately hands, which are in the dharmachakra mudra. A robe made from a singular stretch of fabric, draped over the left shoulder, leaving the other bare. A mukhamandala replete with the glamour of absolute consciousness attainable through the higher reaches of samadhi. Ears lengthened by years of accumulated wisdom, the lobes of which seem to fuse into His clavicles.
The pristine monotone of this Buddha composition makes it a one-of-a-kind work of art. Fashioned from marble, it is characterised by soft, precisely defined curves which lend themselves to a pleasing silhouette. Zoom in on that serene face, the minimalistic etchings upon which make for handsome features of a prince and monk.
How to clean and maintain marble statues?
Marble has been a preferred material for sculptors and artists for more than a thousand years. It is a rock that undergoes metamorphism which causes recrystallization of the original carbonate mineral grains. Marble comes in various colors, designs, and dimensions. Pure white marble is the most preferred type of marble for making sculptures and statues since time immemorial. White marble is especially used for sculpting stone monumental sculptures since ancient times. The natural shine and luster of the carbonate crystals of white marble give a lavish and beautiful appearance to the statue.
Marble stone statues are highly durable and can even withstand harsh weather conditions without getting corroded, therefore, they can be kept indoors or outdoors without getting damaged or weathered. Although these statues can last for many decades, their regular care and cleaning are essential to increase their longevity and beautiful appearance.
Marble statues need periodical cleaning to maintain their flawless look. However, harsh and deep cleaning can result in making the statue look dull. If your marble statue is withering away, it is recommended to take the help of a professional cleaner. Marble is a delicate material and therefore needs proper care.
