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.

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.
