17" Brass Ganesh Statue

Q1.What is the significance of a brass Ganesh statue in Hindu culture?

Ans:  A brass Ganesh statue holds deep spiritual significance in Hindu culture as Lord Ganesha is revered as the remover of obstacles and the god of beginnings. Brass as a material is traditionally believed to amplify positive energy and durability. Owning such a statue is thought to bring prosperity, wisdom, and protection to the home or workplace, making it a cherished item for daily worship and rituals.

Q2.Is the 17" Brass Ganesh Statue handmade or machine-made?

Ans:  The 17" Brass Ganesh Statue from Harishyam Arts is entirely handcrafted by skilled artisans. Each detail is carefully carved and polished by hand, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike. This handmade process not only highlights the uniqueness of each statue but also preserves traditional craftsmanship techniques passed down through generations, giving the statue an authentic and artistic appeal.

Q3.Can this brass Ganapati sculpture be used outdoors or in gardens?

Ans:  While the brass Ganapati sculpture is sturdy and made of high-quality brass, it is generally recommended for indoor use to maintain its finish and intricate detailing. Exposure to outdoor elements like rain, humidity, and direct sunlight may affect the antique brass patina over time. However, if placed in a covered garden or sheltered outdoor space, it can still serve as a beautiful decorative and spiritual element.

Q4.What is the approximate weight of the statue, and how does that affect its placement?

Ans:  The statue weighs around 12 kilograms, giving it a substantial and solid feel that ensures stability wherever it is placed. Due to its weight, it is best positioned on sturdy surfaces such as shelves, altars, or tables that can support its mass safely. The weight also adds to its premium quality perception and reduces the risk of accidental tipping or damage.

Q5.Do you offer international shipping for this brass Ganesha statue?

Ans: Yes, Harishyam Arts proudly offers worldwide shipping, including to countries such as the USA, UK, Canada, and many more. We ensure careful packaging and reliable courier services to deliver your brass Ganesha statue safely to your doorstep anywhere in the world.

Q6.Are the measurements provided (height, width, depth) exact or approximate?

Ans:  The measurements of 17 inches in height, 10 inches in width, and 6 inches in depth are approximate and can vary slightly due to the handcrafted nature of the statue. Small variations in size and detailing are typical and add to the uniqueness and charm of each piece. These slight differences reflect the artisanal process and do not affect the overall beauty or quality of the statue.

To preserve the beauty and longevity of your handcrafted 17" Brass Ganesh Statue, proper care and maintenance are essential. Brass is a durable metal that can maintain its lustrous appearance for years when handled with care.

• Regular Dusting:  Dust your brass Ganesha statue regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep it free from dirt and grime. Using a microfiber cloth is ideal as it prevents scratches and gently removes surface dust without damaging the delicate detailing.

• Avoid Harsh Chemicals:  Avoid cleaning your brass Ganapati sculpture with abrasive cleaners, chemical solvents, or acidic substances as they can damage the antique finish and the intricate hand-carved details. Instead, opt for mild cleaning solutions or natural remedies to retain the brass’s natural shine.

• Gentle Cleaning:  If the statue accumulates stubborn dirt or tarnish, prepare a gentle cleaning solution by mixing mild soap with warm water. Dampen a soft cloth with this solution and gently wipe the statue. Avoid soaking the brass, as prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to discoloration or corrosion. After cleaning, immediately dry the statue thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth to prevent water spots.

• Handling with Care:  Due to its handcrafted nature, handle the statue carefully to avoid dents or scratches. When moving or placing it, ensure you have a firm grip and place it on a stable surface. This helps prevent accidental falls or damage to the detailed artwork.

• Polishing (Occasional):  To restore the shine occasionally, use a brass polish specifically designed for antique brass items. Apply the polish sparingly using a soft cloth, following the product instructions. After polishing, buff the statue gently to bring out its natural radiance without compromising the antique finish.

By following these simple care and maintenance tips, your brass Ganesh statue from Harishyam Arts will remain a cherished and radiant piece of art for many years to come, enhancing your space with spiritual elegance and timeless charm.
