Brass Krishna Vanquishes Kaliya Statue, 42 in. Height Hindu Mythological Sculpture for Home Altar & Living Room

Features

• A seated Lord ganesha figurine. He is chaturbhujadhari, the one possessed of (‘dhari’) four (‘chatur’) arms (‘bhuja’), and His legs are gathered in the bhadrasana of a child. A throne engraved with lotus petals lies beneath Him. Across the top of His head is a stretch of glittering golden vine, forming a sort of aureole. There are overtones of gold in the vine and the crown immediately beneath it, in His limbs and the implements they bear, and in the raised hood of the snake wound around His belly. The seated figure on a lotus pedestal is poised within a shallow-bottomed vessel. Along its frontal rim is a set of five discrete lamps, designed to be filled with ghee and lit. On either side of the central figure is a pair of lamps each, the wicks of which are facing opposite directions. There are a total of nine lamps in this composition, a striking feature of them all being golden insides. Note how the rim of the vessel features tiny engravings and has overtones of gold also.
