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
Light with cotton wicks soaked in pure ghee or sesame oil. Place on a stable, heat-safe surface. Wipe clean after each use.

Each piece is hand-cast individually. Slight variation in finish and dimension is part of the character of the work.
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.
