This colored marble statue is a one of a kind sculpture, hand carved by the artists of south India.  Lotus Sculpture is proud to be the only gallery offering statues in sange-rathek stone.

Special Features:  Shiva is standing wearing a snake skin cloth with his right hand in the abhaya mudra or "no fear" posture as His palm is completely open.  He is wearing Rudraksha beads around his neck.  Shiva has a cobra at his feet as well as one perched on his right shoulder.  The cobras symbolizes the power He has over the most deadly of creatures. Snakes are also used to symbolize the Hindu dogma of reincarnation. Their natural process of molting or shedding their skin is symbolic of the human souls transmigration of bodies from one life to another.   He is holding a trident which has a dhamru or drum attached towards the top of it.

Care:  Not much is needed to care for this piece.  Simply dust the piece as needed.  If you really want it to shine you can use a cotton cloth to buff the smooth surfaces which really makes it glisten.  The statue cannot be placed outdoors.
