This brass Devi Parvati bust depicts the goddess in a pleasant mood, her head slightly tilted to her right and a tranquil smile swept across her face. Her long tresses are knotted in a high raising Jata-mukuta (mukuta or crown made of Jata or locks of hair) embellished with multiple jeweled bands that hold her curling hair in place, giving this brass Parvati bust an impressive appearance. The curls of Devi’s hairdo frame her glistening forehead which is decorated with a round Bindi and beautified by the arched eyebrows delineated by two parallel incised lines. Her admirable eyes are shaped like two lotus buds in between which is placed a sharp nose and below it is her delicate lips. Goddess Parvati’s face is round and impeccably polished and is highlighted by the large Kundala (round earrings) that adorn her ears. On her neck, Devi Parvati wears two tasteful bejeweled necklaces whose stylistically curling strings fall on her shoulders elegantly. A twisted Yajnopavita (sacred thread) falls over goddess Parvati’s left shoulder and disappears in the space between the hints of her elevated bosoms. Emanating a luxuriant blissfulness from her countenance, this brass Devi Parvati bust is a symbol of the great goddess's primordial potencies that allure Shiva and cause the beginning of Srishti (creation). 

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.
