    Thank you! - 6.1.2013

    You were so helpful and accommodating to allow me to come to your store after hours and find the perfect gift for my wife! I could not believe the huge variety of beautiful pieces of art all in one room. I could have spent hours in there! I could not have been happier with my experience, and I intend to be a repeat customer! Thank you so much!! Namaste :)

    Quality art and service - 5.25.2013

    We have purchased many hindu bronze sculptures and one wood carving panel from Lotus Sculpture over the last few years. We are extremely pleased with the quality and beauty of these objects. Kyle and his team have been wonderful. They have helped us choose statues that continue to captivate us years later.

    Kyle, the helper - 5.17.2013

    I order two statues (one of Lord Ganesha and an other of Lord Buddah). Unfortunatly, the Lord Ganesah's one had been sold before my order. But, Kyle proposed me many other solution to help me getting what I wanted. So I would like to thank him for everthing he did for me. I received both of them yesterday. I was so happy, especially when I saw how the statue were perfectly packed. They travelled few thousand miles and hd no trouble. Once again, thank you. Thomas

    Loved the experience - 5.6.2013

    It is rare to have a web purchase feel like such a personal experience. The way the products are described and the prompt attention from the company was really great. I had a personal email from the owner within a few minutes of ordering to clarify something on my information. The statue arrived right on time and is better than I expected. Thanks

    Description

    These Yakshas or temple guards are the same temple guards outside Wat Pho and the Grand Palace in Bangkok.  Since the 14th century Yakshas have been placed outside temple doors to guard against evil forces entering into the temple or temple grounds.  They are depicted with a characteristic face, having big round bulging eyes and protruding fangs.  They are dressed in full body armor wearing a dragon helmet, with both hands upon a large spiraled club; a menacing prospect for any evildoer entering!  The pair is sold as a set.

    Care

    Brass statues from Thailand do not need much maintenance.  The best way to maintain the statue is to simply dust the piece periodically to keep any dirt from accumulating.  They can be used for both indoor and outdoor use. 

    "You can use soap, warm water and a cotton cloth to periodically go over the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup."

    You can use soap, warm water and a cotton cloth to periodically go over the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup.  If you are really interested in making the statue shine you can use some natural oil, like coconut oil or olive oil, and a cotton rag to wipe down the metal portions of the piece.  You can use a toothbrush as well to get into the small crevices of the statue like the hands and hair. 

    Thai brass's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate.  The metal can stand up to the harshest conditions of heat and bitter cold.  We suggest you bathe the sculpture every couple of months so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture and then use a cotton cloth with some natural oil to give the statue a shine. 

    If you have any questions concerning your brass statue please email us at info@lotussculpture.com or call us at 1(760) 994-4455.
