  • Sale! stunning pair of meticulously hand-carved stone elephant statues, rendered in a warm, earthy reddish-brown hue that suggests natural sandstone or terracotta material, stands prominently against a dark, featureless background. Each elephant is captured in a dynamic and majestic pose, standing gracefully on its hind legs with its thick trunk raised high and elegantly curled back towards its head, signifying good luck, welcome, and prosperity. Its forelegs are bent at the elbow and raised forward, almost in a gesture of greeting, blessing, or a celebratory dance. Both statues are identical mirror images, showcasing a rich tapestry of traditional Indian artistry. They are heavily adorned with intricate decorative elements: a detailed, crown-like cap graces each elephant's head, featuring delicate patterns and textures that resemble beadwork or stylized foliage. Large, rounded ears are also subtly textured. A beautifully patterned saddlecloth or ceremonial blanket is draped over their backs and sides, deeply carved with large, swirling, organic motifs that resemble paisleys or elaborate floral scrollwork. This main design is bordered by narrower bands of geometric patterns or stylized garlands. The stone has a slightly matte, weathered finish, which enhances the depth and texture of the carvings, particularly where lighter tones catch the ambient light, highlighting the exquisite craftsmanship. Each elephant rests on a sturdy, oval-shaped pedestal base, which is itself decorated with a continuous, deeply carved frieze of elegant, interlocking scrollwork or vine patterns, mirroring the artistry on the elephants' bodies. The watermark "the Stone Studio" is visible on the side of each elephant's body, indicating the origin and artisanal quality of these handcrafted stone art pieces. These ornate elephant sculptures, representing traditional Indian culture and Hindu symbolism often associated with wisdom, strength, loyalty, and good fortune, would make ideal decorative pieces for home decor, spiritual spaces, or as cultural artifacts. Their symmetrical design makes them perfect as elegant bookends, entryway guardians, or accent pieces, exemplifying superior craftsmanship in traditional stone carving.

  • beautifully hand-carved pristine white marble statue of Lord Dattatreya, a revered Hindu deity considered an avatar representing the unified aspects of the Trimurti (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva). The exquisite sculpture portrays Dattatreya seated comfortably cross-legged on a multi-tiered, rectangular pedestal, exuding a serene and benevolent aura. He is depicted with four distinct faces, visible on the front, left, right, and partially towards the back, each meticulously chiseled with soft features, subtle pink accents on the lips, and a red tilak mark on the forehead. The central face gazes forward with a gentle smile, while the others look outwards, signifying his omniscient presence. He wears simple yet elegant drapery, including a dhoti and a sash draped over his left shoulder, along with a prominent beaded necklace. Lord Dattatreya has six arms, each gracefully holding various auspicious attributes symbolic of his divine nature. His front right hand is raised in the Abhaya Mudra, offering blessings and reassurance, while his front left hand holds a Kamandalu (water pot), symbolizing ascetism and knowledge. Among his other hands, one holds a Trishul (trident), another a Shankha (conch shell), a Padma (lotus flower), and what appears to be a rosary or Chakra. Accompanying the deity are his traditional vahana (mount) and companions, carved as integral parts of the statue. A serene white cow, likely Kamadhenu, stands faithfully behind his left side, representing abundance and dharma. At the base of the pedestal, four small, alert white dogs are meticulously positioned around his feet, traditionally symbolizing the four Vedas. Furthermore, tiny sculpted figures of a frog and a rat/mouse are subtly integrated into the base, adding to the detailed narrative and symbolic richness of the piece. The entire idol showcases exceptional craftsmanship, highlighting the smooth, polished texture of the white marble and the intricate details of the deity's form and his companions. This traditional religious artwork, visible with "the Stone Studio" watermark on the deity's chest, is a perfect piece for a home mandir, spiritual home decor, or as a devotional focal point in a temple, embodying deep cultural and mythological significance in Hindu practices.

  • detailed, full-frontal view of a large, meticulously carved Ganesha statue, made from a dark, rich material that suggests black granite or a highly oxidized, antique metallic finish, lending it a profound, historical gravitas. Lord Ganesha, the revered Hindu deity with an elephant head, is depicted seated in a majestic and serene posture, possibly a variation of Padmasana (lotus position), on a beautifully sculpted double-lotus pedestal. This pose radiates stability and wisdom, key themes in Ganesha worship. His four arms, emblematic of his divine power and ability to interact with the world, hold distinct symbolic items: the upper right hand gracefully holds an 'ankusha' (goad), representing the control over worldly desires; the upper left hand clutches a 'pasha' (noose), symbolizing restraint and the removal of attachments. His lower right hand is raised in the 'Abhaya Mudra,' a gesture of blessing, protection, and reassurance, while his lower left hand holds a small bowl overflowing with 'modak' (sweet dumplings), a favorite treat of Ganesha, signifying rewards for spiritual endeavor and the sweetness of moksha. Intricate details abound across the sculpture: a majestic, multi-tiered crown (mukuta) adorns his head, complemented by large, expressive ears, and a gently curving trunk that subtly reaches towards the modak. He is adorned with ornate necklaces, armlets, bracelets, and anklets, along with a prominent 'uddarabandha' or serpent belt wrapped around his corpulent belly, symbolizing cosmic energy and protection. The sculpture's textured surface and subtle variations in shading enhance the dimensionality of the carving, showcasing expert traditional Indian artistry and spiritual craftsmanship. The idol stands against a minimalist, bright grey background, ensuring full focus on its intricate details and imposing presence. A discreet white watermark, 'the Stone,' accompanied by a stylized leaf icon, is visible in the lower center, subtly indicating the material or source, and suggesting the statue's quality as a significant stone carving, suitable for a temple, home altar, or as a decorative spiritual accent.

Her upper torso is clothed in what appears to be a richly embroidered bodice, while her lower body is draped in a traditional sari with distinct pleats and decorative borders that flow down over her left leg. In her upper left hand, Durga holds a cosmic disk (chakra), symbolizing universal power and the cycle of time. Her upper right hand holds a conch shell (shankha), representing the divine primordial sound and victory. Her lower left hand rests gently on her thigh, possibly holding a small offering pot or a specific symbolic object, while her lower right hand rests on the lion's back, conveying a sense of calm command and connection with her mount.
