hippopotamus sculpture

  • Sale! pair of impressive, large-scale hippopotamus head sculptures, crafted from light beige or sandy-colored natural stone, are prominently displayed against a plain, dark gray background. Each sculpture captures the distinctive, powerful features of a hippo with remarkable detail. They are positioned facing slightly inward towards each other, creating a symmetrical and engaging composition, as if emerging from water. The texture of the stone is visibly rough and porous, suggesting either expertly hand-carved sandstone or a meticulously cast concrete blend, giving the animal art pieces an authentic, weathered, and organic feel. The rounded top of each head, the small but alert ears, and the characteristic bulging eyes are well-defined. Below the eyes, the broad, muscular snout with its flared nostrils is accurately rendered, conveying the hippo's powerful presence. Subtle contours and wrinkles are etched into the stone, enhancing the lifelike quality and depth of the hippopotamus statues. Natural light illuminates the sculptures from above and slightly to the front, creating distinct shadows that accentuate the three-dimensional form, the deep-set eyes, and the textured surface of the garden art. A discrete, dark "the Stone Studio" watermark, featuring a leaf motif, is visible on the upper portion of both sculptures, indicating their origin or maker. This detailed visual likely accompanies an article discussing bespoke outdoor garden decor, custom stone carving, wildlife-inspired landscaping elements, or the artistry involved in creating large-scale animal statues for patios or estates, highlighting durable and aesthetic natural stone art pieces.

  • magnificent, full-length bronze statue of Lord Krishna, sculpted in a dark, antique finish, stands gracefully in the Tribhanga (three-bend) pose. The Hindu deity is depicted in his iconic form as a divine flutist, holding a slender, intricately detailed flute horizontally to his lips, with his fingers delicately poised as if playing an enchanting melody. His face bears a serene, benevolent expression, with finely sculpted eyes, a gentle smile, and soft features. An elaborate, multi-tiered crown adorns his head, featuring ornate designs and possibly a subtle plume-like element at its apex, framed by decorative locks of hair that flow down his shoulders. Krishna is richly adorned with intricate jewelry, including multiple layered necklaces, detailed armlets on his upper arms, elegant bracelets on his wrists, and delicate anklets. A meticulously sculpted waistband or belt cinches his patterned dhoti, which drapes gracefully and is rendered with fine folds and traditional motifs, showcasing classical Indian textile artistry. His upper body is largely bare, emphasizing the elaborate jewelry. The entire figure stands elegantly on a multi-tiered circular pedestal. The lowest tier features deeply carved lotus petals, symbolizing purity and spiritual growth, supporting a simpler, dark circular platform from which the idol rises. The statue’s dark, almost aged patina highlights the fine craftsmanship and adds to its traditional aesthetic. Presented against a clean, light grey to white gradient background, the intricate details and elegant form of this spiritual icon stand out clearly. A subtle 'the Stone' watermark is visible towards the bottom right of the sculpture. This detailed bronze murti is a quintessential example of traditional Indian devotional art, reflecting Hindu mythology and an important aspect of Krishna worship.

  • magnificently sculpted natural sandstone statue of a contemplative Buddha, presented against a plain, dark gray background. The Buddha is depicted in a tranquil, kneeling posture, leaning slightly to his left. His head is gently tilted and rests upon his right hand, with fingers delicately curled and supporting his chin, creating a pensive or introspective mudra. His eyes are softly closed, and a subtle smile plays on his lips, conveying a profound sense of serenity, inner peace, and deep meditation. He is adorned in a flowing, finely draped monastic robe, sculpted with realistic folds and creases that suggest soft fabric clinging to the body. The form of his left arm and shoulder is visible beneath the fabric, showcasing the artisan's skill in anatomical representation. His head features the characteristic tightly curled hair (small snail-like curls) leading up to a prominent ushnisha, symbolizing his spiritual wisdom and enlightenment. Elongated earlobes, common in Buddhist iconography, are also visible. The statue's light beige-tan color and slightly coarse, granular texture clearly identify it as natural sandstone, highlighting the raw beauty of the material. The detailed carving work showcases exceptional craftsmanship, from the smooth contours of the face to the intricate folds of the drapery and the individual curls of hair. The figure rests on a sturdy, rectangular sandstone base, seamlessly integrated with the sculpture. This handcrafted piece evokes a powerful sense of tranquility and spiritual calm, making it an ideal focal point for a meditation space, garden, or as decorative stone art in an interior setting. A subtle "The Stone Studio" logo with a green leaf accent appears at the bottom right, suggesting the origin or craftsmanship of this beautiful sandstone Buddha sculpture.

  • highly detailed and intricate white stone carving, likely marble or a similar fine-grained stone, depicting a multi-tiered Jain shrine or a complex relief panel, presented against a plain dark grey background. The sculpture, which stands upright with an arched top, showcases exquisite craftsmanship and rich religious iconography. At the base and center, three prominent standing figures of Jain Tirthankaras are depicted. These figures are nude (Digambara tradition), symbolizing renunciation and freedom from worldly possessions, and stand in a meditative posture upon individual lotus pedestals. Each Tirthankara is surmounted by a finely carved, triple-tiered ceremonial umbrella (chhatra), a significant symbol of their supreme spiritual status and protection. Ornate pillars with intricate designs flank these central figures, creating architectural divisions. Above the main standing Tirthankaras, multiple ascending tiers feature numerous smaller, identical meditating Jain figures (Jinas or Tirthankaras) seated in the Padmasana (lotus) pose. These figures are arranged in rows, each within its own miniature arched niche or platform, creating a sense of a multitude of enlightened beings or a lineage of spiritual teachers. The upper layers gradually recede, adding depth to the composition. The entire structure is framed by an elaborate, decorative arch, typical of traditional Indian temple architecture. The arch culminates in a prominent crest featuring two majestic bird figures (possibly Hamsa swans or peacocks) positioned symmetrically on either side of a central, stylized motif. This central element could be a floral design, a kirtimukha (a common decorative monster mask in Hindu and Jain temples), or another auspicious symbol, surrounded by delicate scrollwork and foliage. Along the outer edges and sides, smaller niches house additional miniature figures, including tiny elephants supporting the upper layers and other meditating Jinas, further enhancing the sculptural complexity. The crisp details, from the facial expressions of the figures to the individual petals of the lotus pedestals and the intricate patterns of the arch, are clearly visible due to the bright, even lighting. This artwork is a profound example of Jain religious art, embodying principles of purity, enlightenment, and the path to spiritual liberation through its detailed depiction of Tirthankaras and Jinas. It serves as an excellent visual representation of traditional Indian stone sculpture and spiritual devotion. Three Jinas Jain Statue 2ft Original price was: ₹88,900.00.Current price is: ₹74,500.00.

  • magnificent, detailed Buddha statue, likely crafted from warm, earthy reddish-brown sandstone or a similar terracotta-like stone, is depicted against a solid, dark gray background that accentuates its form. The Buddha is seated in a serene meditative posture, cross-legged in the 'Padmasana' (lotus position), embodying tranquility and spiritual peace. His slender body is subtly draped, revealing the smooth contours of his form. His hands are raised delicately to his chest, forming the 'Dharmachakra Mudra,' a symbolic gesture representing the 'turning of the Wheel of Dharma' or the teaching of Buddhist principles. This mudra is characterized by the thumb and index finger of each hand touching to form circles, with the right hand slightly above the left, emphasizing wisdom and discussion. The Buddha's face radiates a calm, compassionate expression, with downcast eyes suggesting deep introspection and meditation. His head is adorned with tightly curled hair and an 'ushnisha' (a prominent cranial bump signifying wisdom and spiritual insight) at the crown, flanked by gracefully elongated earlobes. Behind the Buddha, an elaborately carved circular 'prabhamandala' (aura or halo) creates a focal point. This ornate backdrop is intricately detailed with swirling floral motifs and traditional scrollwork, symbolizing divine light and enlightenment. At the upper corners of this halo, two small, subtly carved winged celestial figures, possibly 'devas' or 'apsaras,' appear to be flying or offering blessings. The entire sculpture rests upon a sturdy, rectangular plinth. The front panel of this base features a finely carved frieze depicting a row of smaller, seated monastic figures or devotees, adding a narrative depth to the artwork. This striking piece of Buddhist iconography showcases exceptional craftsmanship, offering a powerful representation of spiritual teaching and meditative practice, making it an ideal visual for articles discussing ancient South Asian religious art, meditation practices, or the symbolism of Buddhist sculptures.

  • striking, tall owl sculpture, painted in an explosion of vibrant, abstract colors, stands upright against a plain, dark gray background. This highly stylized piece of modern art features a simplified, elegant form of an owl with distinct pointed ears at the top, a rounded head, and a sturdy body that gently tapers towards a slightly wider base. The entire surface of the owl is a canvas for an energetic, dynamic pattern of interlocking, organic shapes and bold brushstrokes in a rich palette including electric blue, brilliant yellow, fuchsia pink, vivid red, deep green, crisp white, and stark black. The owl's face is particularly expressive, dominated by two large, round eyes rendered in bright yellow with prominent blue irises and small black pupils, all outlined in black, giving it a wide-eyed, curious, or slightly whimsical look. A small, stylized white area suggests a beak. The rest of the owl's body is a swirling tapestry of these intense hues, with no traditional feather patterns but rather a fluid, contemporary design that evokes movement and joy. The bright colors contrast dramatically with the dark background, making the sculpture pop with vitality. Near the bottom front, a subtle "the Stone Studio" logo is visible. This unique, hand-painted owl statue serves as a captivating decorative art piece, ideal for injecting a powerful pop of color and artistic flair into any modern home decor setting or as a focal point in a curated art collection, showcasing a blend of whimsical subject matter with a sophisticated abstract aesthetic.
