A particularly gorgeous resident of Indraloka, the Indian mythical apsara is the equivalent of the Greco-Roman muse.
Incomparably beautiful, generously possessed of the qualities of music and poetry, the apsara inspires the gandharvas and pleasures the great Lord Indra Himself. The one that you see on this page is a fine example of the kind.
The sculptor has captured her in a dynamic stance. As opposed to painting, which is a two-dimensional visual art form, sculpture accommodates a great deal of expression and dynamism.
The one that you see on this page depicts the lovely yuvatee (youth, female) cradling a pot in the curve of her hips. She has stopped to pluck a thorn or a chip of rock caught in the sole of her right foot.
The composure of countenance is one of innocence and wistfulness. The delicate language of her body suits the gracious lines and proportions of her figure. The apsara is dressed in a tightly wound dhoti of silk and adornments that convey the glamour of Indraloka. She stands on a perfectly symmetrical plinth, the alternate tiers of which are engraved with elongated lotus petals.

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.
