Tortoise idol with dasavatar

  • Sale! long, horizontal, highly detailed bronze sculpture of a turtle, appearing aged with a warm, reddish-brown patina, is presented against a plain, softly lit gradient background. The turtle, likely depicting the Kurma avatar of Vishnu, is shown in a crawling or resting position with its head extended forward and its four sturdy legs splayed out.

These figures are surrounded by delicate, radiating lines resembling sunbursts or lotus petals. The outer edges of the shell are adorned with elegant, scalloped patterns that suggest waves or divine aura, outlining the individual shell plates with raised ridges and intricate patterns.

The overall craftsmanship suggests a significant cultural or religious artifact, highlighting traditional Indian artistry and devotion. A faint watermark reading "the Stone" with a leaf icon is visible on the shell. This sculpture is a prime example of Hindu religious art, embodying both artistic skill and deep spiritual symbolism.

  • magnificent, hand-carved black stone sculpture of a serene divine figure is prominently displayed against a clean, light grey to white gradient background. The statue, likely crafted from granite or a similar dark, heavy stone, exudes a timeless and spiritual presence with its intricate detailing and monochromatic aesthetic. The central figure, a deity or spiritual teacher, is seated in a relaxed, cross-legged posture, possibly a variation of the Sukhasana or "easy pose," upon an elaborately carved lotus pedestal. Its face radiates tranquility, featuring gently smiling lips, a delicate nose, and downcast eyes that convey deep introspection or meditation. A prominent urna (a dot or mark representing the third eye) is visible on the forehead, and the figure wears a tall, ornate crown (kiri mukuta) adorned with complex patterns, along with large, decorated earlobes. The upper body is adorned with multiple layers of richly detailed jewelry, including beaded necklaces, armbands, and bracelets, all meticulously carved to suggest texture and dimension. A sacred thread (yajnopavita) drapes gracefully across the torso. The right hand is raised in the Abhaya Mudra, a traditional gesture of fearlessness, reassurance, and blessing, with the palm facing outwards. The left hand rests gently on the lap, open, in a gesture often associated with granting boons or meditation. The lower body is draped in flowing, intricately carved fabric, suggesting traditional garments. Behind the figure is a grand, circular prabhamandala or archway, a traditional halo or aureole, which is exquisitely detailed with swirling floral motifs, stylized leaves, and decorative patterns that frame the deity beautifully. This archway is supported by robust, carved pillars on either side, which merge into the multi-tiered, hexagonal base of the sculpture. The base itself is adorned with traditional carvings and lotus petal designs, further emphasizing the sacredness and grandeur of the artwork. This sculpture beautifully showcases exceptional traditional Indian craftsmanship and spiritual artistry, highlighting the beauty achievable through hand-carved stone. Its dark material emphasizes the fine textures and contours of the carving, making it a compelling piece suitable for a temple, home altar, spiritual decor, or as a significant item in a collection of classical Hindu or Buddhist art. The watermark "the Stone Studio" subtly visible at the bottom right suggests this is a commercial product or a piece from a specialized studio focused on stone art.

  • beautifully crafted white stone Buddha water fountain is depicted centrally against a plain, dark gray background, showcasing its intricate details and serene aesthetic. The statue portrays Siddhartha Gautama in a meditative pose, seated cross-legged in the lotus position (Padmasana). His face emanates profound serenity, with gently closed eyes and a subtle, peaceful smile, conveying a sense of deep tranquility and mindfulness. His hair is sculpted in the traditional tightly curled ushnisha, symbolizing his spiritual wisdom and enlightenment. The graceful folds of his robe are intricately carved, adding texture and a sense of natural drapery to the smooth, polished white stone surface. His hands are cupped in the Dhyana Mudra (meditation gesture), holding a small, stylized vessel. From this vessel, a steady stream of clear water gently cascades downwards, indicating the active function of the fountain. The water flows into a rectangular reservoir positioned directly beneath the Buddha, which in turn overflows into the larger, main basin at the base of the sculpture. The base of the fountain is exquisitely designed as a large, open lotus flower, its individual petals distinctly carved and layered to create a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing reservoir for the recirculating water. The entire piece, from the Buddha figure to the lotus basin, appears to be carved from a single, luminous white stone or marble, emphasizing the craftsmanship and purity of the design. The lighting is even and professional, highlighting the smooth contours and subtle details of the sculpture without harsh shadows. A discreet watermark, "the Stone STUDIO," is visible towards the bottom center, identifying the creator or vendor of this elegant stone art. This tranquil Buddha fountain is an ideal piece for enhancing a home meditation space, a Zen garden, a serene office environment, or as a calming outdoor decorative element, offering a focal point for peace and reflection through its spiritual symbolism and the soothing sound of flowing water.

  • full-body, highly detailed stone carving of a standing Hindu deity, most likely Lord Rama, rendered in a light, natural-toned stone, possibly marble or sandstone, set against a plain dark gray background. The figure stands upright and faces forward, exuding a serene and majestic presence. The deity's facial features are finely chiseled, with a peaceful expression, almond-shaped eyes, well-defined eyebrows, nose, and lips, and a traditional Vaishnava tilak mark adorning the forehead. He wears an elaborate, multi-tiered crown (mukuta) that is intricately carved with decorative motifs. Adorning his bare upper torso are multiple layers of exquisitely detailed necklaces and garlands, some shorter and broad around the neck, and a longer one extending to his waist, all showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. His right hand, positioned on the viewer's left, is raised in the Abhaya Mudra, a significant gesture of fearlessness, blessing, and protection, with the palm open and fingers pointing upwards. His left hand, on the viewer's right, gracefully holds a meticulously carved long bow, a primary attribute of Lord Rama, symbolizing his strength and adherence to dharma. A flowing, pleated lower garment (dhoti) with a decorated waistband covers his lower body, and a subtle sash or cape drapes elegantly from behind, adding to the sculpture's dynamic visual appeal. The entire figure stands firmly on a multi-layered lotus pedestal (padmasana), symbolizing purity, beauty, and spiritual enlightenment. Behind the deity's head, a beautifully carved semi-circular aura or prabhavali further accentuates his divine status. The smooth yet textured surface of the stone highlights the artisanal skill and precision involved in creating this piece of traditional Indian devotional art, reflecting a deep connection to spiritual heritage and the mastery of stone carving, likely from "The Stone Studio" as indicated by the subtle logo.

  • Here is a long and descriptive alt text for the image, designed to be detailed, accessible, and include relevant keywords naturally, while conveying its connection to potential article content: A highly detailed, antique-finished metal sculpture of the revered Buddhist deity Tara, likely either White Tara or Green Tara, is prominently displayed against a simple, dark gray gradient background. The statue depicts the goddess seated gracefully in the lalitasana or "royal ease" posture, with her right leg comfortably extended forward as if poised to step down, symbolizing her readiness to assist sentient beings, and her left leg bent, resting on the lotus pedestal. Her body is adorned with intricate jewelry, including a tall, multi-tiered crown symbolizing spiritual authority and the five Dhyani Buddhas, elaborate earrings, a multi-strand necklace, delicate armlets, bracelets on both wrists, and anklets. A sacred thread (yajnopavita) drapes elegantly across her bare upper torso. The drapery of her lower garment is finely sculpted with subtle folds and patterns. Tara's face radiates profound serenity and compassion, characterized by delicate almond-shaped eyes, gently arched eyebrows, a small, subtle smile, and a prominent urna (wisdom eye) on her forehead. Her hands are in significant mudras: her right hand rests on her right knee, palm open outwards in the varada mudra (boon-granting gesture), symbolizing generosity and the bestowal of blessings. Her left hand is raised to her heart, holding the delicate stem of an utpala (blue lotus) flower that blossoms elegantly beside her left shoulder, with another utpala emerging near her right shoulder, symbolizing purity and spiritual awakening. The deity sits upon a beautifully sculpted double-lotus pedestal, a common motif in Buddhist iconography, with each petal intricately defined, adding to the statue's artistic depth. The metal itself appears to be bronze or brass, polished to a lustrous sheen with an antique finish that highlights the intricate details and gives it a timeless, sacred appearance, reflecting subtle greenish and golden undertones. This exquisite sculpture serves as a powerful visual representation for articles discussing Buddhist deities, Tibetan Buddhist art, spiritual iconography, meditation practices, the symbolism of compassion and swift action embodied by Tara, or the craftsmanship involved in traditional bronze and brass statues. A subtle "the Stone Studio" watermark is visible on the lower front portion of the statue, indicating its origin or purveyor.

  • long, intricately carved, light reddish-brown stone sculpture of a Hindu goddess stands majestically, facing forward against a plain, dark gray background. The deity, possibly depicting Durga, Parvati, or another form of Adi Shakti, is shown with four arms, symbolizing her divine power and multi-faceted nature. She wears an elaborate, tiered crown (mukuta) with fine detailing, and behind her head, a radiating sunburst or aureole (prabhamandala) suggests her divine aura. Her face has delicate features, including serene, almond-shaped eyes, gracefully arched eyebrows, a large circular nose ring on her right nostril, and a gentle, enigmatic smile. Ornate earrings adorn her ears, and a subtle forehead ornament (tilak) is visible. Her slender yet curvaceous body is richly adorned with multiple layered necklaces that drape down to her chest, decorative armlets on her upper arms, and several bangles on each wrist. She is modestly draped in a flowing, intricately pleated lower garment (dhoti or sari-like drape), cinched at the waist by an ornate belt or girdle that cascades with decorative elements. In her upper left hand, she firmly grasps a trishul (trident), a traditional weapon associated with Shiva and Shakti. Her upper right hand holds a small, hourglass-shaped hand drum (damaru). Her lower left hand is raised with the palm open and facing forward in a gesture of reassurance and fearlessness (abhaya mudra), while her lower right hand cradles a small, round pot or vessel (kalasha), often symbolizing abundance, purity, or water offerings. She stands elegantly, with her bare feet adorned with anklets, on a simple rectangular stone plinth. At her right foot, a finely detailed lion or tiger, her traditional mount (vahana), is sculpted, lying patiently and looking upwards towards the deity. Another smaller, less distinct animal figure or decorative element is visible near her left foot. The sculpture is made from a material that resembles sandstone, terracotta, or a similar natural stone, giving it an earthy, unpolished texture that highlights the exceptional craftsmanship and fine details of traditional Indian carving. On the front of the plinth, an engraved logo for "The Stone Studio" is visible, along with text that appears to read "RISHA NARI SUBR," potentially identifying the artist or a specific collection.
