12.5" solid brass Vishnu — tall pointed crown, long necklaces, decorative dhoti with patterned border, small floral ornaments at feet on lotus base. Hand-cast in Moradabad, the brass-craft capital of India, by artisans whose families have been working in metal for generations.

About this deity

Lord Vishnu is the preserver — the steady principle that holds the universe together through its long arcs of time. Four-armed, holding conch, discus, mace, and lotus, often standing on the cosmic ocean, Vishnu is the deep keel beneath all change.

Specifications

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.
