This sculpture is carved out of the most popular and beneficial White Cedar Wood, highly demanded because of its milky brown glossy color, smooth texture and the specialty of being resistant to insects and harsh outdoor conditions. Rama, Lakshman and Sita stand here on beautifully carved double lotus pedestals and ornamented richly in golds and flowers.
Rama and Lakshman dressed in luxurious pleated dhoti carry their iconic bow and arrow, while Sita clad in the royal silk saree of soft pleats holds a lotus flower symbolizing purity. If you have a keen look at their crown, you will be mesmerized by their exquisite structures and marvelous intricate carvings. Lord Hanuman sits gently near Rama’s feet with the hands joined in gesture of paying obeisance to 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.
