The Kartika is a ritual tool that looks like a curved hand axe. This type of knife is used for a variety of ceremonial activities, such as offering blessings and making offerings to deities. It is also used to symbolically cut away negative energies, bad karma, and other negative influences from a person's life. It cuts and severs the cord of attachments that are no longer serving a necessary or positive purpose in our lives. Its ornate design and symbolism make it a powerful and meaningful addition to any spiritual practice. Very useful for starting a new chapter in ones life! The scultpure comes on a black wood stand that contrasts the antique green patina of the ritual item perfectly!
"The sculpture chooses you. You know when you find the right piece to bring into your home and into your heart."
Founder, Lotus Sculpture
Brass statues from Bali, Indonesia 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. Bali brass is meant only to be used indoors.
You can use a natural oil, like coconut oil or olive oil and a cotton cloth to periodically wipe down the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup.
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 like the hands and hair. This will not remove any of the natural patina on the statue.
If you have any questions concerning your brass statue please email us at [email protected] or call us at 1(760) 994-4455.
