About this piece
A hand carved Saraswati in grey Orissa stone, standing and holding a veena. The photos show her against a carved arched slab with a flat back, so it is meant to be viewed from the front. The stone is a plain grey with natural variation.
The statue is 20 cm (7.9 in) tall and weighs 2.5 kg. It suits a study shelf, a music corner or a home altar.
How it is used
Saraswati images are often kept where books are read or music is practised, and many homes place one on a study shelf or small altar. Some families place books and instruments near her image during Vasant Panchami.
Looking after it
- Dust with a soft dry cloth.
- Keep away from oil and water marks, which can darken natural stone.
