Evoke a sense of ancient power and protection with this captivating pair of Lava Stone Dvarapala Sculptures. Dvarpalas, often depicted as fierce warriors or formidable giants, serve as guardians of doors and gates, wielding potent weapons. These sculptures are faithful replicas of the colossal 11th-century Dvarapalas from Singhasari, Malang - East Java, the largest of their kind in the world.
These mirror-image sculptures exude a sense of symmetry and strength. Kneeling on a single leg, they hold mighty gadas, maces symbolizing their protective prowess. Their striking features include bulging eyes, a prominent nose, and fang-like teeth, embodying their formidable presence.
Adorned with headwear and jewelry adorned with skulls, they exude an aura of the otherworldly. Serpents twine themselves around their bodies, emphasizing their sacred and protective role. Smaller serpents coil around their wrists, ankles, and upper arms, showcasing intricate craftsmanship.
Their long, tightly curled hair adds to their distinctive appearance, reflecting an ancient lineage of guardians. These sculptures are a testament to the rich heritage of Dvarapalas, standing as powerful sentinels at the gates of your space.
About Lava Stone: The lava stone used for our sculptures was quarried in the volcanic mountains of Indonesia. The lava stone is a solid stone that is perfect for any type of location and weather conditions, hot or cold, wet or dry. The stone is versatile in that it can be colored in a wide spectrum of colors. It can also be polished or unpolished giving giving it a clean or rough feel. In humid conditions if it is left untouched it takes on a very mysterious, antique, worn look like you would see in the temple ruins of south east Asia.

Lava stone statues from Bali 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 can be used for both indoor and outdoor use.
You can use soap, warm water and a cotton cloth to periodically go over the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup.
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.
Lava stone'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.
