A Symphony of Tradition and Whimsy

Invite a touch of ancient mystique and playful charm into your living space with this exquisite brass hanging bell. Handcrafted by the skilled artisans of Bastar, a region renowned for its rich tribal art heritage, this piece captures the essence of traditional Indian craftsmanship. The intricate design, featuring a delicately sculpted peacock and a melodious bell, is more than just an ornament; it's a story waiting to be told.

The Regal Peacock: A Symbol of Grace and Divinity

The peacock, a creature of unparalleled beauty, holds a significant place in Indian mythology and culture. In Hinduism, it is the vahana (mount) of Lord Kartikeya, the god of war and victory, and is often associated with beauty, grace, and royalty. The vibrant, iridescent plumage of the peacock is believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune. In this artisan's creation, the peacock is depicted with a regal bearing, its intricate feathering and crested head meticulously rendered in brass. Its presence evokes a sense of nobility and auspiciousness, transforming this hanging bell into a symbol of prosperity and well-being.

The Resonant Voice of Tradition

The bell itself is a masterpiece of traditional bell-making. Its form is classic, with a flared rim and a sturdy suspension loop, but its surface is adorned with a symphony of etched patterns. These geometric motifs and repeating bands speak to the ancient decorative traditions of the region, suggesting a deep connection to the earth and its rhythms. When gently swayed by a breeze or a passing hand, the bell emits a clear, resonant tone. This sound, far from being mere noise, is considered sacred in many Indian traditions, believed to purify the atmosphere, ward off negativity, and awaken the senses. It's a sound that has echoed through temples, homes, and ceremonial spaces for centuries, carrying with it prayers, blessings, and a sense of peace.

A Legacy in Brass

The use of brass for this piece is deliberate and significant. Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, has been used for centuries in India for creating religious idols, decorative items, and functional objects. Its durability, malleability, and warm, lustrous appearance make it an ideal medium for such intricate work. The casting and finishing processes employed by the Bastar artisans are passed down through generations, ensuring that each piece carries the authentic spirit of its origins. This hanging bell is not merely an object of décor; it is a tangible piece of cultural heritage, a testament to the enduring artistry of the tribal communities of India. Hang it in your doorway to welcome guests with a gentle chime, place it near a window to catch the breeze, or simply let it grace your favorite corner, filling your space with its unique aesthetic and resonant voice.

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.
