Female statues and images are one of the earliest discovered artifacts in any civilization. Every society has its way of treating and representing feminine beauty, but one of the commonest depictions of the female body is in a seminude state. From ancient Greeks who depicted Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty as a modest but seminude figurine to the Indian damsels on temple walls, with their ample bosoms, finely shaped waist, and wide hips, the female body has been a popular subject for artists and viewers alike for reasons ranging from voyeurism to spirituality.
Here we have the torso of a lady in brass, more similar to its Western counterparts in terms of pose and physical attributes. While most Indian sculptures show heavy breasts and exaggerated hips hinting at reproductive prowess, this metal statue shows a naturalistically carved body. The lady dons an intricate hairstyle, with otherwise minimalistic ornamentation. Her upper body is virtually bare, while from the waist she has loosely tied a plain piece of cloth. The finely polished surface of this brass statue gives the image an enchanting metallic luster.
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.
Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
