The Divine Bird: Annam

The Annam, or Hamsa, is a mythical bird often depicted in Indian art and mythology. It holds a special place in Hindu and Buddhist traditions, representing purity, wisdom, and transcendence. It is said that the Hamsa possesses the ability to discern the good from the bad, the real from the unreal. Its presence atop this lamp signifies spiritual awareness and the pursuit of enlightenment. In some accounts, the Hamsa is the vehicle (vahana) of Brahma, the creator god in Hinduism, further elevating its symbolic importance. The elegant depiction of the Annam atop the lamp adds a regal and auspicious touch.

Handmade in India, this brass statue demonstrates exemplary artistry. The lamp is crafted from quality brass. The carefully considered dimensions of approximately 17.0 x 5.0 x 5.0 inches ensure its substantial presence, while allowing it to fit gracefully into a variety of settings. The base of the lamp offers stability, while the central structure showcases a series of meticulously carved details. A wide, shallow basin rests between the base and the Annam, designed to hold oil and wicks, creating a mesmerizing display of light when illuminated.

This lamp transcends mere functionality. As a ritual item, it holds profound significance in pujas (prayer rituals) and other religious ceremonies. The warm glow of the flame is believed to purify the surroundings and invoke divine blessings. Beyond its spiritual purpose, it also serves as a striking decorative piece.

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.
