Saraswati on Swan Brass Idol

Saraswati, goddess of learning and music, seated on her swan with the veena in her arms. Cast in brass and polished to a bright gold, a gentle presence for a study desk or a child's room.

From the brass workshops of Tikamgarh, in the Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh, where metal is cast, chased and polished by hand. Chosen piece by piece for Saptadhārā.

The details

• Material: Brass, bright polished finish
• Pose: Seated on a swan, holding the veena
• For: A study, a music room or a student

In the box: 1 handcrafted piece

Caring for it

• Dust with a soft dry cloth.
• To bring back the shine, polish occasionally with a little brass cleaner or lemon and salt, then wipe dry.
• Keep away from damp to avoid dark spots.

Cast and finished by hand, so small variations in finish and detail are a mark of the maker, not a flaw.
