This statue illustrates Krishna conquering the five-headed serpent with his left leg and waving his right leg in air to showcase his total dominance over it. Krishna’s left hand is clasping the tail of the Kaliya and his right is in a gesture of blessing his devotees.
The statue stands on an elevated lotus platform and shows a mermaid in devotional posture. Krishna is adorned by divine jewellery and has deity mask as his headgear. This exclusive piece represents the celestial power of Krishna and can be kept in the center/heart of the home, the living room, or the main entrance
How to care for Wood Statues?
Wood is extensively used in sculpting especially in countries like China, Germany, and Japan. One feature that makes the wood extremely suitable for making statues and sculptures is that it is light and can take very fine detail. It is easier for artists to work with wood than with other materials such as metal or stone. Both hardwoods, as well as softwood, are used for making sculptures. Wood is mainly used for indoor sculptures because it is not as durable as stone. Changes in weather cause wooden sculptures to split or be attacked by insects or fungus. The principal woods for making sculptures and statues are cedar, pine, walnut, oak, and mahogany. The most common technique that sculptors use to make sculptures out of wood is carving with a chisel and a mallet. Since wooden statues are prone to damage, fire, and rot, they require proper care and maintenance.
It is extremely important to preserve and protect wooden sculptures with proper care. A little carelessness and negligence can lead to their decay, resulting in losing all their beauty and strength. Therefore, a regular clean-up of the sculptures is a must to prolong their age and to maintain their shine and luster.
