About this piece
A round sun face with a calm expression, a third eye on the forehead and long, wavy rays spreading in every direction. The face is in a darker brass and the rays are a lighter metal, so the face stands out against them.
The seller lists it as Dhokra art, the lost-wax metal craft of eastern India. At 28 cm across it is sized for a blank wall or a door. The photos show it on black, and one shows the back and its hanging point.
How it is used
Surya is the Sun god in Hindu tradition and the Sun is called Surya in Vedic astrology. A piece like this is hung on a wall, and some homes place it in a puja room.
