Bronze Nalvar Statue Set, the 4 Great Saints of Shaivism 13"

Special Features: The four great saints of Shaivism who took birth in the world showing us the path of elevating oneself to the Supreme Shiva are the samayak kuravarkaL or nAlvar. The four saints names are Appar, Manackavasakar, Sundarar and Sambandar. Appar who is bald with his hands together in greeting holding a shovel in his arms. Manackavasakar who is bald and holding the vedas and Japa mala-prayer beads. Sundarar with hand crutch and lotus flower. Sambandar holding 2 cymbals vertically.

About the Golden Polish: This bronze sculpture has been polished after casting giving it a golden shine. Polished bronze pieces are often used in temples. Temples prefer the polished bronze icons because the rituals involved in puja often involve bathing the bronze deity, which naturally removes the bronze patina of an older piece. Over time and with no periodic care the golden polish will naturally dull to form a dark patina that is naturally found on aged bronze.

Care: Regular dusting should keep the piece clean. Over the years the golden polish will fade. In order to keep the piece shiny you can use a cotton rag and some coconut oil to regularly clean the piece. You can also use lemon or tamarind juice to wipe the piece down. The acid from the lemon/tamarind removes any patina.
