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. He has Rudraksha beads around his neck and holds a large cobra in his left hand. The cobra 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. Shiva is holding a scepter in his right hand.

About the Dark Stone Sange-Rathek: Sange-rathek is found in Jhansi, in the state of Bihar, India. The stone is known for its wonderful deep black/blue color and the colored purple and yellow veins that flow through the stone. Looking into a piece of sange-rathek is like staring into deep space and seeing distant galaxies. It is a very unique and wonderful stone. Sculpture is very rare to find in this stone because there are seldom pieces of raw stone large enough to accommodate a full-sized sculpture.

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.
