This powerful sculpture represents just the head of Lord Shiva, with a realistically rendered serpent coiled around His neck. The face features a slight smile and the eyelids are half closed as if in yogic trance. He has a well formed nose below which can be seen a slight depression which is a characteristic of any human face; below this are the two lips, with the lower one being slightly thicker than the upper. At the centre of Shiva’s forehead is His vertical third eye. He wears large circular earrings, known in Sanskrit as kundalas.

The highlight of the statue however is the depiction of Lord Shiva’s hair. His long and wavy tresses, as that of a beautiful yogi, cascade down like a waterfall behind His head. The strands of His hair are pulled back neatly from His forehead, and swirl up in a multi-layered bun-like coiffure at the top of the head. This bun is tied in place by a serpent with an upraised hood. In an interesting detail, the sculptor has marked this serpent with a trident, the weapon typical to Lord Shiva.

Immersed at the top of this whirl of hair is a small female face, representing the river goddess Ganga, giving Lord Shiva the epithet of ‘Gangadhara’, or the ‘One who gives support to Ganga’. A crescent moon can also be seen on one side of His head, which is highly inspiring to the devotees of Shiva. The moon is the symbol of the mind. Its presence here signifies that one can be a true yogi only when one has gained full control over one’s mind, and not before.

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.
