A Glimpse into Cosmic Order and Divine Wisdom

This exquisite brass wall hanging is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of Nepal and the profound philosophical depth of Tibetan Buddhism. At its heart lies a representation of the Kalachakra mandala, a complex symbolic diagram that serves as a map of the cosmos, the cycles of time, and the path to enlightenment. The term "Kalachakra" itself translates to "Wheel of Time," hinting at the cyclical nature of existence as understood in Buddhist cosmology, where beginnings and endings are not absolute but part of an eternal flow.

The Twelve Animals of the Zodiac

Surrounding the central Kalachakra motif, and intricately woven into the design, are the twelve animals of the Tibetan zodiac. Each animal corresponds to a year in a twelve-year cycle, and its placement within this sacred artwork connects the earthly realm of individual destinies with the universal order represented by the mandala. These animals—the mouse, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, bird, dog, and pig—are not merely decorative but carry deep symbolic meaning within Tibetan culture, influencing personality, fortune, and relationships. They echo the astrological systems found in other Asian cultures, yet are infused with the unique spiritual context of Tibetan Buddhism.

A Mandalat of Meaning

The central element, the Kalachakra mandala, is a sacred space, often used in meditation and ritual to visualize the universe and the Buddha's path to liberation. The complex geometric patterns within the mandala represent the palaces of deities and the interconnectedness of all phenomena. The dense, labyrinthine inscription at the very center is a profound representation of the Kalachakra Tantra, a body of teachings focused on the nature of time, karma, and the methods for achieving spiritual awakening. The lotus flower upon which the mandala rests is a universal symbol of purity, spiritual awakening, and the blossoming of enlightenment from the muddy waters of samsara.

Craftsmanship and Spiritual Resonance

Crafted from brass, this wall hanging possesses a timeless quality, its material lending it a sense of enduring spiritual power. The intricate details, from the fierce expressions of the zodiac animals to the delicate patterns of the mandala, showcase the meticulous skill of the artisans of Nepal. The patina of the brass adds depth and character, suggesting the passage of time and the countless blessings it has witnessed. This piece is more than just an artifact; it is an invitation to contemplate the grand cycles of existence, the interconnectedness of all beings, and the journey towards inner peace and ultimate wisdom. It serves as a beautiful and potent reminder of the cosmic dance and the profound teachings of the Kalachakra tradition.

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.
