In the sacred tapestry of devotion, behold Hanuman Ji, “Rudravtar of Lord Shiva”, bearing the weight of eternity upon his shoulders. With unwavering strength, Hanuman carries “Lord Rama” and “the Sheshavatar Lakshmana”, their divinity radiating like stars in the night sky. In his right hand, the mighty Mace (Gada) gleams, a symbol of indomitable courage. This artwork, carved in pure wood, is a mesmerising portrayal of divine love and loyalty, signifying Lord Hanuman’s selflessness and commitment to his Lord’s mission. Hanuman’s devotion manifests as a sublime spectacle, a tribute to the boundless power of faith and the undying love between a devotee and his Lord.
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.
