This hand made, bronze sculpture is a one-of-a-kind statue, hand cast by the artists of south India.

Special Features:  Vishnu's preserving, restoring, and protecting powers have been manifested in the world in a series of ten earthly incarnations known as avatars.  The avatars arrive either to prevent a great evil or to effect good upon the earth.  All ten are displayed here; They include Matsya the fish, Kurma the turtle, Varaha the boar, Narasimha half man half lion, Vamana the dwarf, Parashurama the Brahmin, Rama the hero, Krishna the cow herder, Buddha the enlightened one and Kalki the horse yet to come to the earth. 

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.  Or you can cut a half a lemon and go over the piece.  The acid from the lemon removes any patina.
