The artist, Balan, wanted to develop a series of smaller Moai statues fit for the sizes of children. They were inspired by his adorable daughter, Aditaya who is pictured next to the statues. The 3 statues were meant to cover happiness, thought and sadness. Each statue was carved with the smooth lines of the sculpture then manually polished with a polishing stone giving the stone a beautiful shine. In the set there are 3 statues; a smiling pink granite Moai, a thinking black granite Moai and a frowning pink granite Moai. The 3 Moai statues can be purchased separately or as a full set.
About Pink Granite: Pink granite is seldom used in sculpture in south India. Lotus Sculpture has acquired pink granite stone solely for a limited number of statues. The Lingam's smooth surfaces really show off the beauty of the stone. Like Indian black granite it is possible to see 4-5 different colors on a single piece depending on the degree of polish or roughness of the stone. The stone is extremely hard and durable and can be left outside in extreme heat and extreme cold for years without care.

Soap and warm water is the best way to maintain the statue. You can use a small brush to get into the small crevices of the statue like the hands and hair.
Granite's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. The stone can stand up to the harshest conditions of heat and bitter cold. We suggest you bathe the sculpture at least once a year so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture. This will maintain the sculpture for your grandchildren and then their grandchildren!

The delivery charges include insurance, a residential lift gate delivery to your home or business. The freight company will call you to schedule a delivery day and time frame to make the delivery. Someone must be present to receive the statue. Depending on where you are located we will use either R&L Carriers, UPS Freight, Estes, DHX or Roadrunner Transport.
The freight company will use a lift gate to bring the sculpture to the ground and then use a pallet jack to move it anywhere on the same level. They will move it anywhere in your driveway or in your garage. They will not take it to your backyard or in the elevator to your apartment or up or down any steps. They will not be unpacking the statue and taking the crate away. Think of them as you would UPS or Fedex. They only deliver the statue. If you require a little extra service, (within reason) a tip to a delivery man usually works wonders!
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.
