Behold the divine symphony of Lord Krishna in this hand-carved wooden masterpiece. Carved with meticulous devotion, the sculpture captures the essence of Krishna, his Tribhanga stance exuding grace and boundless energy.
In his right hand, he holds the Sudarshana Chakra, the divine discus that represents the wheel of time and the ultimate destruction of evil. In his left hand, he holds the Panchajanya, the celestial conch shell that symbolizes the primordial sound of creation and the power of divine proclamation.
The sculpture's iconography, steeped in rich mythology, conveys profound spiritual meanings, transforming this masterpiece into a tangible embodiment of devotion and spiritual enlightenment. Wood, a material revered for its malleability and natural beauty, has been a favored medium for sculptors since time immemorial. Its inherent warmth and intricate grain patterns lend an air of authenticity to sculpted forms.
How to care for Wood Statues?
Wood is extensively used in sculpting especially in countries like China, Germany, and Japan. One feature that makes the wood extremely suitable for making statues and sculptures is that it is light and can take very fine detail. It is easier for artists to work with wood than with other materials such as metal or stone. Both hardwoods, as well as softwood, are used for making sculptures. Wood is mainly used for indoor sculptures because it is not as durable as stone. Changes in weather cause wooden sculptures to split or be attacked by insects or fungus. The principal woods for making sculptures and statues are cedar, pine, walnut, oak, and mahogany. The most common technique that sculptors use to make sculptures out of wood is carving with a chisel and a mallet. Since wooden statues are prone to damage, fire, and rot, they require proper care and maintenance.
It is extremely important to preserve and protect wooden sculptures with proper care. A little carelessness and negligence can lead to their decay, resulting in losing all their beauty and strength. Therefore, a regular clean-up of the sculptures is a must to prolong their age and to maintain their shine and luster.
