Description
The artist, Balan, wanted to develop a series of smaller Moai statues fit for the sizes of children. They were inspired by his adorable daughter, Aditaya who is pictured next to the statues below. The 3 statues were meant to cover happiness, thought and sadness. Each statue was carved with the smooth lines of the sculpture then manually polished with a polishing stone giving the stone a beautiful shine. In the set there are 3 statues; a smiling pink granite Moai, a thinking black granite Moai and a frowning pink granite Moai. The 3 Moai statues can be purchased separately or as a full set.
About Indian Black Granite: Indian black granite is a wonderful stone. It is capable of a variety of finishes which can give it a variety of different color possibilities. It is possible to see 4-5 different colors on a single piece depending on the degree of polish or roughness of the stone. Indian black granite is among the best granite in the world sought after by artists globally. Unlike inferior quality granite, Indian granite is extremely dense and without impurities that plague other stones. The density of granite makes a granite sculpture perfect for any garden because it can be left outside in extreme heat and extreme cold for years without care.
