About this piece
6" solid brass Saraswati — Fan-like crown with rays, four arms, square stepped pedestal with carved petal pattern. Hand-cast in Moradabad, the brass-craft capital of India, by artisans whose families have been working in metal for generations.
About this deity
Goddess Saraswati is the patron of knowledge, music, arts, and speech. She sits on a white lotus or rides a peacock, the veena resting in her arms — the instrument through which formless wisdom finds form. Saraswati is invoked by students, artists, musicians, and seekers.

Craft notes
The piece is finished in antique brass — a deliberately darkened patina that settles into recesses and brings out engraved detail. It softens with time and use. The piece is solid brass throughout — there is no plating, no hollow shell. Slight variations in finish, dimension, and weight are inherent to the handmade process and are part of the character of each piece.
Care & placement
A versatile piece — works in a pooja room, an entryway, or as a tabletop accent. Polish occasionally to maintain finish.

Care & placement
Wipe regularly with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh detergents. Brass darkens slightly with age — a soft patina is part of the character. Polish gently with a brass cleaner to restore brightness.
