Natural Stone Shiva & Parvati Statue 61"

The bas-relief sculpture of Shiva on one side and his wife, Parvati on the other side is hand carved into a natural bolder of black granite.  Shiva is standing with his right hand held up in the abhaya mudra while holding a large trident.  A river of water flows out from the mouth of the goddess, Ganga on the top of his head.  The other side depicts the beautiful, Parvati with womanly features and hypnotic almond shaped eyes.  She holds a lotus flower in her right hand.  The sculpture is very similar to bas-relief sculptures carved in ancient stone temples in India.  The natural stone sculpture would be a perfect addition to a garden setting as it would fit right into the space. 

About 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.
