Marici is a popular figure in Buddhist mythology who is known as the Goddess of the Dawn. She is believed to have been born from a ray of light emanating from the brow of the Amitabha Buddha. She is depicted with three faces and eight arms, each of which holds a weapon. Marici is said to be an emanation of the compassion of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and is often invoked for protection, good luck, and success in endeavors.
The kindly front face of the three faces is smiling, with the eyes open with a third eye on her forhead. This face represents courage and non-hindrance. The right face is emitting supreme light, affable, and with the looks of a young girl. The left face is an ugly, wrathful boar face with frowning eyebrows, protruding fangs and a lolling-out tongue. This face is so wrathful that it terrifies anyone who sees it. The bodhisattva is sitting on a war chariot drawn by seven red pigs.
The face of the Marici is painted with 24k gold mixture. The gold is crushed into a powder and then made into a paste. The gold paste is mixed with an organic paint mixture.

Copper statues from Nepali do not need much maintenance. The best way to maintain the statue is to simply dust the piece periodically to keep any dirt from accumulating. They are meant solely for indoor use.
If you would like the piece to shine use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or other natural oil to wipe down the copper statue. Pay special attention to not go over any painted area of the sculpture.
If you are really interested in making the statue shine you can use some natural oil, like coconut oil or olive oil, and a cotton rag to wipe down the metal portions of the piece. You can use a toothbrush as well to get into the small crevices of the statue. Please pay special attention to not use any oil on any painted surface of the sculpture, such as the face. This will damage the paint and possibly recolor the painted area. Simply use a cotton cloth to dust the face if the face requires attention. Make sure the surface that touches the face does not have any oils present on it. If there are natural stones on the sculpture use caution while going over the stones as they can become dislodged while handling the sculpture.
