See It In Your Home
She is young and fertile and formed in the finest proportions of her sex. That irresistible face, that curvaceous figure: these betray her divine status as an apsara resident of the sacred court of Lord Indra.
The sculpture that you see on this page is of the Indian equivalent of the European muse; she is the apsara, possessed of otherworldly beauty and poetry of being.
Nothing short of the deepest inspiration could project such beauty and life onto pure brass. She stands in the tribhanga stance - the body juts out at three different junctures - on an ornate plinth. Long legs; full thighs drawn together by a snake wound around the curves.
Superb bone structure of the pelvic region, forming a sharp angle with the miniscule girth of the waist. Wide-set shoulders drawn seductively by the weight of a gorgeous bosom. The bright-eyed apsara gazes into the distance. With the fingers smeared in sindoor (powdered vermillion) she touches the parting of her hair.
As she does so, she pictures the man she desires and finishes off the short-lived yet pregnant ritual of every woman blessed with a lover and provider. Note how the braided part of her hair rests at a realistic angle upon the luscious curve of her hip.
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. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.
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.
