The Goddess is seated atop a beautiful multi-layered pedestal with fine engravings and top designed in the shape of a lotus. Her four arms represent the four heads of Lord Brahma and carry different items; the lower left arm carries the string instrument ‘Veena’ that symbolizes knowledge flowing in rhythm and harmony, the right hand shows the Apana Mudra, and both the upper hands hold a lotus flower that represent purity or pure consciousness.

She is clad in a short blouse and richly embroidered dhoti tightly wrapped around her waist and legs forming perfect pleats. Her left knee folded and placed on the plinth depicts her calm state. She is adorned with beautiful neckpieces and long chains around her neck, big kundalas in her ears and a tall crown on her head. A sacred halo is also depicted around her head illustrating the exalted personality of Devi Saraswati. Finally, the exquisite lustre of brass adds to the aesthetic pleasure in this sculpture.

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.
