Craft notes
The piece is finished in polished plain brass — bright, golden, and warm — with hand-engraved detailing where present. It will deepen in tone slightly with age. 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.
