The gentle Avalokiteshvara is seated with the feet gathered afore the mooladhara chakra. The sole of the left foot faces skywards, while that of the right is placed firmly on the ground beneath Him. As such, the right knee is slightly raised, over which He rests the right hand. Its fingers are gathered in the vitarka mudra, an expression of dispensing vidya (awareness).
Supple, expressive limbs; and a long, slender torso. The metallic green colour finish of His bare body. Adornments in solid gold colour, accentuating each aspect of the beauteous Bodhisattva form. A rudimentary Kirtimukham at the centre of the neckpiece. Anklets and amulets down the length of His limbs. The thick, gold-coloured hems of His raiment, across the torso and round the waist.
Note the serene, lifelike face of Avalokiteshvara. The image of the Buddha Amitabha is engraved on the spire of His crown. Large karnakundalas that reach all the way down to His superb clavicles. They complement the angles of His face and its features made of minimalistic etchings.
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.

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.
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.
