The antique Shakti Mariamman Statue is estimated to be 13th to 14th century. A steel base has been made to hold the piece upright.
Shakti has 8 arms, which hold a variety of weapons among them, a sword and trident. Her right hand is facing down in the abhaya mudra or 'fear not' hand position. Her hair is pushed back vertical, standing on edge personifying the energy that is Shakti. Shakti wears earrings, necklaces and leggings with tassels hanging off to each side. She has a sensual womanly figure with motherly exposed breasts embodying mother Devi. The face has been worn down from years of devotees touching the surface. The unusual nub that protrudes from the bottom of the statue was used to affix the sculpture to the base of a wall so it could not move.
About Black Granite: Indian black granite is a wonderful stone. It is capable of a variety of finishes which can give it a variety of different color possibilities. It is possible to see 4-5 different colors on a single piece depending on the degree of polish or roughness of the stone. Indian black granite is among the best granite in the world sought after by artists globally. Unlike inferior quality granite, Indian granite is extremely dense and without impurities that plague other stones. The density of granite makes a granite sculpture perfect for any garden because it can be left outside in extreme heat and extreme cold for years without care.

For placing the statue our customers have either placed the statue themselves with help of a friend and a tool like a hand truck or a dolly. Or by contacting their landscaper who is used to moving large and heavy objects like rocks and trees into place. For much larger and heavier sculptures sometimes the customer needs a piece of heavy equipment for placing the statue like a crane or forklift.
