An Emblem of Divine Service: The Mooshak Repousse Plate

This exquisite repousse plate, crafted from a harmonious blend of brass and iron, features the iconic Mooshak, the divine mount of Lord Ganesha. The artistry of repoussé, a technique where metal is hammered from the reverse side to create a raised design, is showcased in its full glory here. The intricate details of the Mooshak’s form, from its alert posture to the ornate saddle adorning its back, are brought to life through this painstaking process, imbuing the piece with a sense of movement and vitality. The lustrous sheen of the brass catches the light, highlighting the depth and texture of the repoussé work, while the underlying iron provides a robust foundation. The Mooshak, often depicted as a rat or mouse, holds a significant place in Hindu mythology. It is revered as the vahana (mount) of Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity of wisdom, intellect, and prosperity. The union of Ganesha and Mooshak symbolizes the overcoming of obstacles and the triumph of knowledge. The Mooshak, despite its unassuming form, is believed to represent the mastery over desires and the ability to navigate through even the most complex situations with agility and intelligence. It is said that the Mooshak can sneak into any place, symbolizing Ganesha's all-pervasive nature and his ability to access all realms. The association with the Mooshak also signifies the power of the small to overcome the great, a profound message of perseverance and strategic thinking.

A Sacred Icon for Your Abode

This repousse plate serves as a powerful devotional artifact, perfect for enhancing any puja room or sacred space. The divine imagery of the Mooshak, coupled with the sacred metals of brass and iron, makes this a piece of profound spiritual significance. Brass, considered a sacred metal in Hinduism, is believed to attract positive energies and ward off negativity. Iron, known for its strength and grounding properties, adds to the plate’s resilience and its ability to anchor auspicious vibrations. The meticulous craftsmanship and the symbolic representation of the Mooshak make this plate a treasured item for those who seek blessings and guidance from Lord Ganesha. It can be a focal point for meditation, prayer, or simply a beautiful reminder of the divine presence in your life. The craftsmanship speaks to a tradition of devotional art that has been passed down through generations, offering a tangible connection to ancient practices and beliefs.

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.
