In this sculpture Kali is standing in her tag posture of Shiva’s dead body lying on a stone base under her feet. Wherein her left leg is on the stone base and right leg is on Shiva’s chest and tongue lolling out. It is said that Kali once started a terrific dance of victory on destroying all demons in a battle. All the deities started trembling and left the way for her. Shiva on request of other gods asked her personally to abstain from it but she was too intoxicated to hear that, hence Shiva lies as corpse and when she mistakenly stepped on Shiva, she immediately realized her mistake and her tongue came out as a mark of shame. She is wearing an apron of human hands which represent her happiness with the offerings of fruitful works and hard work of humans. She has four hands, where left hand is holding a tray to collect the blood coming from destruction of evil and right hand is holding a Trishul which has its base resting on Shiva’s forehead. In the other two hands, one is holding a sword as a symbol of power and the other carrying a severed head showcasing ego. Her long and beautifully patterned, disheveled hairs are illustrating freedom. There is a flower shaped aureole at the back of her head making her look heavenly. She is wearing a multilayered necklace enhancing her beauty.

Her stance is showing her power of destruction of bad and creation of good.

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.
