stone saint idol

  • Sale! detailed and intricately carved light reddish-brown stone sculpture depicts a traditional Indian scholar, scribe, or sage deeply immersed in the act of writing. The figure is seated in a contemplative and focused posture, with one leg bent and the knee raised, while the other leg is tucked underneath. In his right hand, he holds a slender writing implement, likely a stylus or pen, poised carefully over a rectangular palm-leaf manuscript or wooden writing tablet held steadily in his left hand. The scholar is adorned in simple yet traditional Indian attire, consisting of a draped lower garment resembling a dhoti, and a shawl (angavastram) gracefully folded over his left shoulder and across his torso, with a beaded necklace around his neck. His hair is styled into a prominent topknot (shikha) at the crown of his head, a traditional symbol often associated with scholars or priests, and a distinct tilak mark adorns his forehead, signifying spiritual devotion or intellectual pursuit. He is seated upon a large, open book, which itself rests on a traditional cross-shaped wooden book stand known as a rehal or chowki. To the right of the figure, near his foot, an additional stack of smaller books or palm-leaf manuscripts is neatly placed on the open book, emphasizing the theme of extensive study and literary work. The sculpture, with its rustic yet refined aesthetic, is presented against a plain dark grey background, which makes the reddish-brown tones of the stone stand out prominently. The visible "the Stone Studio" logo on the bottom left indicates its origin. This artwork beautifully captures the essence of ancient Indian learning, the profound dedication of scholars to scriptures and knowledge, and the rich heritage of written traditions, making it a fitting visual for articles on education, literature, philosophy, or cultural history in India.

  • majestic, hand-carved black stone sculpture depicting a multi-faced Hindu deity, most likely Lord Shiva in his Panchamukha (five-faced) aspect, representing his various manifestations and cosmic roles. The prominent central face looks directly forward with a serene, meditative expression, eyes gently closed in contemplation, and a distinct vertical 'third eye' clearly carved on its forehead, symbolizing wisdom and inner sight. This central figure wears an elaborate Kirita-Mukuta (conical crown) adorned with intricate traditional patterns and fine detailing, beneath which sculpted waves of hair are visible. An ornate necklace or garland is intricately carved around the deity's neck and upper chest, adding to its regal appearance. Flanking the central figure, two additional faces are visible in profile, one on the left and one on the right, each with similar serene expressions and adorned with their own smaller, yet equally detailed, crowns and headwear. These side faces reinforce the multi-directional and all-encompassing nature of the deity. Above the main crown of the central face, a tall, domed structure rises, possibly representing Shiva's Jatamukuta (matted hair crown) or a symbolic cosmic element, culminating in a small, distinct finial at its apex. The entire sculpture is rendered in a deep, lustrous dark grey or black stone, likely granite or polished marble, showcasing the natural sheen and smooth contours achieved through skilled carving. Subtle variations in light highlight the polished surfaces and the textured details of the deity's features, adornments, and hair. The sculpture stands firmly on a sturdy, rectangular base made of the same dark, rough-hewn stone, which provides a contrasting texture. It is presented against a plain, light grey studio background, which allows the intricate details and dark color of the spiritual artwork to stand out prominently. This detailed artwork embodies traditional Indian craftsmanship and spiritual devotion, making it an ideal visual for an article on Hindu iconography, stone carving techniques, or the multifaceted nature of deities like Shiva. A subtle watermark, "the Stone," appears in the lower left, indicating the sculptor or supplier. Mukhalinga 22" Original price was: ₹59,500.00.Current price is: ₹54,600.00. Inclusive of all taxes
  • richly detailed, vertical hand-carved wooden bracket or pillar section, showcasing traditional Indian craftsmanship. The piece is crafted from polished wood, displaying a natural range of light and dark brown tones, accentuated with black, gold, and subtle teal green paint. The structure is a dynamic stack of finely carved figures, characteristic of temple architectural elements. At the very top, a flat surface transitions into an intricately carved horizontal beam. Below this, square panels feature detailed carvings, including what appears to be a peacock on the left, adorned with teal accents. A downward-tapering finial projects from the underside of the top section. The central and most prominent part of the carving is a vertical succession of powerful, mythical, and real animals. Uppermost in this stack is a fierce, stylized Yali-like creature (a mythical lion-elephant hybrid often found in South Indian art) with a large, dark, flowing mane, an open mouth revealing fangs, and bulging eyes. Its body is rendered in a lighter wood tone with golden highlights. A small, dark-skinned human figure in traditional attire is depicted near its head, possibly as a rider or attendant. Directly below the Yali, a majestic, golden-brown bull (resembling Nandi, the mount of Shiva) stands, richly adorned with intricate gold patterns on its body and saddle. Another small, dark-skinned human figure is seated on the bull's back, holding reins. Supporting the entire structure at the base is a dark grey elephant, heavily ornamented with gold-patterned adornments that suggest a ceremonial saddlecloth and jewelry. The elephant is depicted in a kneeling or crouching stance, its trunk raised in a gesture of reverence or support. A slender, vertical pillar-like element runs down the left side of the bracket, featuring a continuous pattern of carved leaves or scrolls, highlighted with pale teal accents. The entire sculpture exhibits deep relief carvings and fine detailing, emphasizing the texture of the wood and the musculature and adornments of the figures. This exquisite piece exemplifies the artistic traditions and symbolic narratives often embedded in Indian wooden sculpture and temple architecture, making it a compelling decorative element for spaces seeking cultural depth and traditional artistry.

  • A long, elegant outdoor bench, crafted from a light gray, almost off-white, natural stone or high-quality concrete. The bench features a thick, rectangular seating slab with gently rounded edges and corners, giving it a smooth, softened profile despite its robust material. The surface shows subtle variations in texture, characteristic of stone, and a faint dark grey "the Stone" logo with a small green leaf graphic is visible near the left end of the seating surface. The bench is supported by two substantial, pillar-like legs, one positioned towards each end. These solid supports are also made from the same light-colored stone, featuring a slightly sculpted, possibly S-curved or bracket-like design that tapers slightly and then flares outwards at the base for stability. Distinct patches of vibrant green moss or lichen are visible clinging to the lower parts and sides of both legs, indicating the bench's natural weathering and its suitability for outdoor environments. This detail highlights its durability and harmonious integration with nature. The entire bench is set against a plain, dark gray to charcoal background, which serves to isolate and highlight its form, texture, and color, suggesting a professional product photograph. This image effectively showcases the bench as a durable, aesthetically pleasing, and weather-resistant piece of garden furniture or public seating, perfectly illustrating the qualities of natural stone products for landscaping and outdoor living discussed in the article. It conveys a sense of timeless design and lasting quality for garden decor, patio settings, or park installations. Stone Garden Bench 5ft Original price was: ₹59,000.00.Current price is: ₹48,700.00.

  • majestic, light pink-hued stone sculpture depicts the multi-armed Hindu goddess Durga, also known as Ashtabhuja Durga, seated dynamically upon her powerful lion mount. The intricately carved statue, likely fashioned from sandstone or a similar light-colored natural stone, showcases exceptional traditional Indian craftsmanship. The goddess has a serene, contemplative expression on her face, framed by an elaborately detailed crown and hairstyle. She is richly adorned with traditional Indian jewelry, including ornate necklaces, armbands, bangles, and anklets. Her eight arms radiate outwards from her slender torso, each holding a significant attribute or performing a gesture: in her left hands (from top to bottom), she holds a conch shell, a bow, displays an open palm in a blessing or fear-not gesture (abhaya mudra), and a small vessel; in her right hands, she holds a mace, an arrow, a trident, and a blooming lotus flower. Her lower body is gracefully draped in sculpted fabric, suggesting traditional attire, with intricate folds and details. She is seated with one leg bent, its foot resting on the lion's back, while the other leg is positioned to convey readiness or dynamic motion. The powerful lion, her vahana (divine vehicle), is depicted with a detailed mane, sharp features, and a watchful, forward gaze, serving as a steadfast support for the deity. The entire sculpture rests on a simple, round stone base, matching the material and color of the deity. The artwork is presented against a plain, dark gray gradient background that subtly enhances the intricate details and spiritual presence of this traditional Indian deity statue. A 'the Stone Studio' watermark is visible in the bottom right corner, identifying the origin of this handcrafted sculpture. This exquisite piece embodies themes of strength, protection, and divine grace, making it a perfect visual representation for articles discussing Hindu religious art, ancient craftsmanship, or the rich iconography of Hindu deities.

  • magnificent, full-length bronze statue of a graceful female figure, standing approximately 2 to 3 feet tall on a circular, ornate base, presented against a plain white to light grey gradient background. The statue, depicting a likely Yakshi or a goddess figure, exhibits a striking dark, aged patina with subtle hints of greenish-blue verdigris, particularly noticeable on the base, characteristic of traditional Indian metalwork, possibly from the Chola period or in a similar classical style. The woman stands in a gentle tribhanga (triple-bend) pose, with her weight shifted, imparting a sense of fluid movement and classic Indian aesthetics. Her left arm is elegantly raised and bent at the elbow, with her open palm supporting a detailed, small parrot or parakeet perched delicately. The parrot, with its distinct curved beak and textured feathers, is often associated with love, Kama, or spiritual messages in Hindu mythology and ancient Indian literature. Her right arm is bent, with her hand resting gracefully on her hip, accentuating her slender waist. She is richly adorned with intricate jewelry: large, circular earrings, multiple ornate necklaces (haras) cascading down her chest, intricate armbands (keyuras) on her upper arms, bangles (kanganas) on her wrists, and a richly detailed girdle (mekhala) around her waist, securing her draped lower garment. Her elaborate, tall coiffure resembles a jatamukuta or a highly stylized bun, intricately textured with horizontal bands suggesting coiled hair or interwoven ornamentation, possibly adorned with a small crown or tiara-like element at the forehead. Her face features serene, almond-shaped eyes, a delicate nose, and full, sculpted lips, conveying a calm and benevolent expression. The statue's body proportions are idealized, emphasizing a slender waist, full breasts, and gently curved limbs, reflecting the aesthetic canons of classical South Indian sculpture. Her lower body is clad in a finely sculpted dhoti-like garment with delicate folds, visible at the hips and legs, indicating the texture of fabric. The rounded pedestal at the base is multi-tiered and adorned with a stylized lotus petal design (padmasana), further hinting at its devotional or sacred context. This highly detailed antique bronze sculpture is a prime example of museum-quality craftsmanship, visually connecting to discussions on ancient Indian art, Hindu iconography, the significance of celestial nymphs or minor goddesses, and the rich history of metal casting in the subcontinent.
