The Yab-Yum stands for mother/father in Tantric Buddhism and is represented by means of a male and a female deity in sexual union.
Representation of the Yab-Yum:
The female figure usually sits on the lap of the male. There are different representations of the Yab-Yum sometimes of Shiva-Shaktis, Buddha-Shaktis or Vajrayana-Shaktis. Yab-Yum has no erotic intention, but symbolizes the mystical abolition of the opposites between Yin and Yang, Vajra and Ghanta, male and female.
The male active force Upaya unites in the Yab-Yum with the female wisdom Prajna. In the symbolism of Vajrayana, the unity of the male and female principles is formulated.

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.
