79" solid brass Shiva, Standing — Tall trishul with damru. 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 Shiva — Mahadev — is the auspicious one, the destroyer of illusion, the meditator on Mount Kailash. Crescent moon in his matted hair, serpent at his throat, trident in his hand, he is the inner stillness behind the dance of the universe. Shiva is for those who walk a contemplative path.

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.
