Shri Dakshinamurti statue

  • Sale! magnificent and highly detailed stone sculpture, carved from a light beige or sandy-colored material, possibly sandstone, depicts a serene Hindu deity seated in a meditative posture under an elaborately carved canopy. The central figure, likely a form of Shiva as Dakshinamurthy (the silent teacher of cosmic knowledge) or a similar guru-like divine being, is shown with four arms, symbolizing universal power and omnipresence. The primary right hand is raised in the Abhaya Mudra, a gesture of reassurance, protection, and dispelling fear, with the palm facing outwards. The primary left hand gently holds a small, round vessel or pot, possibly a kamandalu (water pot) or a pot of nectar, signifying spiritual purity or abundance. The deity's upper two hands also hold indistinct attributes, possibly a book or rosary, further emphasizing wisdom and spiritual practice. The deity is seated in a cross-legged, meditative posture (Padmasana) on a simple, organic-shaped pedestal or rock formation. An ornate crown or mukuta adorns their head, from which long, flowing locks of hair cascade down their shoulders. They are richly adorned with intricate necklaces, armlets, and bracelets, all meticulously carved in the stone, suggesting their divine royalty and status. The face exudes a profound sense of calm and introspection, with half-closed eyes gazing downwards, indicative of deep meditation and inner wisdom. Above the deity, an exquisitely carved canopy unfolds, resembling a lush, full tree, possibly a Kalpavriksha or wish-fulfilling tree, whose dense foliage of finely delineated leaves and branches forms a protective arch. The naturalistic carving of the leaves and the supporting tree trunks is exceptionally detailed, suggesting both the sacredness of nature and a tranquil, shaded abode for spiritual contemplation. At the base of the sculpture, several smaller figures are carved in relief, appearing as disciples or devotees. They are seated reverently around the central deity, some in postures of prayer, contemplation, or attentive listening, their gazes directed upwards, reinforcing the image of a spiritual teacher guiding his followers towards enlightenment. The entire composition rests on a robust, circular base. This sculpture, rich in symbolic iconography and master craftsmanship, captures a moment of divine teaching and spiritual tranquility. Its intricate details and emphasis on meditation and wisdom make it a perfect visual representation for an article discussing ancient Indian spiritual practices, the symbolism of Hindu deities, traditional stone carving techniques, or the iconography of a guru-disciple tradition.

  • tall, incredibly intricate, light-toned traditional Indian relief carving, likely crafted from a light-colored stone (as suggested by the 'The Stone' watermark visible on the base) or possibly a finely carved wood like sandalwood. The artwork is presented against a clean, plain off-white background, highlighting its exquisite detail and craftsmanship. The central and most prominent figure is Lord Ganesha, the revered Hindu elephant-headed deity of wisdom, prosperity, and the remover of obstacles, depicted standing gracefully. He is shown with his characteristic four arms; one hand is raised in a gesture of blessing (Abhaya Mudra), another holds his broken tusk, and others hold symbolic attributes like an axe and a noose. His pot-bellied form is richly adorned with elaborate jewelry, garlands, and a flowing dhoti, and he wears a majestic, intricately carved crown. Ganesha stands balanced on his 'vahana' or divine mount, a finely detailed rat (known as Mooshika) that wears a decorative saddle, symbolizing Ganesha's mastery over desire and worldly attachments. Behind the main deity, a richly carved archway forms a prabhamandala (aura or halo), filled with numerous smaller celestial figures (devatas) and devotees. These miniature sculptures depict musicians, dancers, and figures showering flowers, creating a vibrant, dynamic scene of divine celebration and reverence. The base of the sculpture is equally elaborate, featuring multi-tiered, scalloped platforms. Flanking the central Ganesha and Mooshika are two smaller, kneeling human-like figures performing 'namaste' or Anjali mudra (a prayer gesture), likely representing devout worshippers. Between them, symbolic offerings, perhaps a bowl of modaks (sweets traditionally associated with Ganesha), are depicted. The entire pedestal is adorned with delicate repeating patterns and further miniature carvings, enhancing the overall textural richness. The exceptional craftsmanship, evident in the deep relief carving and minute details of every figure and architectural element, highlights the skill and artistry inherent in traditional Indian temple art and Hindu iconography. This majestic piece serves as a beautiful example of sacred art, embodying spiritual devotion and mythological storytelling through its profound visual narrative and masterfully executed details. It would be highly relevant for an article discussing Ganesha worship, ancient carving techniques, collectible spiritual sculptures, or the rich heritage of Indian religious art and cultural heritage.

  • captivating, full-body shot of a meticulously carved stone statue depicting a contemplative monkey or macaque, presented against a plain, dark gray background that accentuates its texture and form. The sculpture is crafted from light gray, rough-textured natural stone, resembling weathered granite or sandstone, which gives it an aged and rustic aesthetic. The primate figure is shown seated with its knees drawn up towards its chest, creating a compact and thoughtful posture. Its forearms rest gently on its shins, with its hands clasped loosely around its knees. The statue exhibits fine details, including clearly defined digits on both its hands and feet, and a slightly hunched back that adds to its realistic portrayal. The monkey's face features prominent brow ridges, deeply set, calm eyes that gaze forward with a slightly pensive or introspective expression, a short, flat snout, and distinct, rounded ears. The overall impression is one of tranquility and quiet observation. The statue sits on an integrated, irregular stone base, which appears to be part of the same block of stone, reinforcing its organic feel. Subtle hints of green moss or natural patina are visible in the crevices of the stone, particularly around the base and lower limbs, suggesting it has been exposed to elements or designed to evoke a weathered, ancient look. In the lower right portion of the image, subtly integrated into the statue's form and base, is the watermark logo "the Stone Studio," identifying the artisan or vendor of this handcrafted piece. This detailed stone carving would be an ideal accent for a meditation garden, a Zen-inspired outdoor space, or as unique interior decor, embodying themes of nature, mindfulness, and traditional artistry, perfect for articles discussing garden ornaments, natural stone sculptures, Balinese craftsmanship, or unique home and garden accents.

  • full-height, dark grey or black stone sculpture depicts the Hindu deity Lord Krishna in his Venugopala (flute-player) form, standing gracefully in the tribhanga (triple-bend) posture. Krishna's right leg is crossed casually over his left, with his left knee slightly bent, and both hands are raised to play a bansuri (flute). He wears an intricately carved, multi-tiered crown (mukuta) adorned with delicate patterns, large ornate earrings, and a serene, gentle expression with a subtle smile on his face. Around his neck are several layers of necklaces, and his bare chest is adorned with armlets on his upper arms and bangles on his wrists. A richly draped dhoti-like garment covers his lower body, detailed with fine pleats and decorative waistbands featuring hanging ornaments, while anklets adorn his feet. Behind his head, a circular prabhamandala (aura or halo) is exquisitely carved with radial lines and a lotus-petal border, emphasizing his divine status. To Krishna's left and slightly behind him stands a slender, docile cow or calf, its head gently turned towards the deity, symbolizing his role as a cowherd. The entire sculpture rests on a multi-tiered, circular pedestal, with the lower tier prominently featuring finely sculpted lotus petals (padmasana design). The robust, dark stone material, possibly black granite or basalt, highlights the intricate details of traditional Indian temple art and stone carving, presenting a durable and aesthetically pleasing devotional idol suitable for a temple, home altar, or as a decorative cultural piece.

  • captivating and striking contemporary sculpture depicting a man's partial face, presented against a clean, light gray gradient background that fades to white at the bottom. The unique artistic piece showcases a compelling contrast in its metallic finish: the forward-facing and slightly-right profile features, including a prominent aquiline nose, defined lips, a full, intricately sculpted beard with textured curls, and an expressive eye, are rendered in a rich, warm metallic bronze or copper patina. The flowing, wavy hair, visible on the left side of the head, also features these warm bronze tones with darker, shadowed contours. In stark contrast, the left side of the face, receding into the background and appearing as a more flat, geometric plane, is finished in a deep charcoal gray or matte black, giving the impression of a sliced or stylized representation rather than a complete bust. This dual-tone metallic finish brilliantly highlights the classical contours and modern detailing of the facial features, suggesting a blend of antique aesthetic with contemporary design. The sculpture is elegantly mounted on a sleek, dark, rectangular metal stand with a subtly textured base, providing stable support and enhancing its presentation as a sophisticated home accent or art object. Below the stand, in the bottom left corner of the image, is "the Stone STUDIO" logo in dark gray, accompanied by the tagline "...Transforming your Imagination," indicating the creator of this unique, handcrafted artwork. This piece embodies artistic craftsmanship and could be a focal point in interior design, showcasing a blend of classical inspiration and modern sculptural techniques.
