10.5" solid brass Saraswati — Crowned female figure holding stringed veena across lap; ornate halo behind head; lotus pedestal. 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.

Specifications

Craft notes

Decorative stone inlay — turquoise, coral, lapis, or coloured glass — is set into the brass body by hand. Each inlay piece is cut and seated individually; no two pieces are exactly alike. 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.
