Krishna Playing the Flute with Cow Statue Carved from Red Marble 13"

This colored marble statue is a one of a kind sculpture, hand carved by the artists of south India. 

Special Features:  The color of the gorora stone is more cream colored.  Shiva is dancing upon a crescent moon or Kama.  Shiva is responsible for keeping Kama, the god of nightly love, alive. Through the waxing and the waning of the moon Shiva creates different seasons and rejuvenates life.  He holds Agni or fire in his hand.  The flames represent the destructive energy with which Nataraja dances at the end of each cosmic age, cleansing sins and removing illusion.  He also holds a trident symbolizing the holy trinity of Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma. 

A note on the artist:  The artist is a very special contemporary artist with a very unique style.  He takes classical figures and motifs and molds them together.  What is produced is completely unique sculpture that rips down the barriers of classical south Indian sculpture.  He is a contemporary force that is taking modern Indian sculpture to a new level.

About Gorora Stone:  Gorora stone or Red marble is a wonderful stone for sculpture.  It is rarer than most soft stones and must be shipped into Tamil Nadu from Uttar Pradesh in the north.  The stone has wonderful cream/yellow veins in it contrasting to the beautiful deep red of the stone.  The stone is extremely glossy.  When a red marble statue is polished it has a disarming shimmer. 

Care:  The piece is for indoor use only.  Dust the piece as needed using a cotton piece of cloth.  You can really make the surface and color of the statue shine if you use a cloth to buff the surface.
