The amazing brass sculpture exudes a boyish charm as it carves itself beautifully to represent the God of war, as he holds an artistic spear in his hands with a gorgeously shining peacock that stands with the illuminating and aesthetic floral backdrop complimenting the blessing-God, who is adorned in splendid jewels portraying a sense of magnificence and grandeur.

Lord Kartikeya was said to be one of the most beautiful-looking and handsome gods. He is often described as good-looking yet keeps on a serious face, quite unlike his happy-go-lucky chubby brother Ganesha. Kartikeya is also known as Shanmukha or the God with six faces. He is also regarded as the Guru of Shiva and the vehicle he rides is a peacock called Paravani. He is a God from the Vedic times, therefore, powers up the Hindus to Believe in their older faith.

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.
