Each piece is shaped and finished by hand, so small differences in weight, size, finish and surface marking are normal and no two are identical. Colour on screen can differ from the metal in daylight. Handmade in India.

The right palm is open and turned out at shoulder height, fingers together. A mace lies across the front of the base with its knob projecting past the left edge, and a ring stands on edge against the left hip. The tail rises behind the crown in one curve and finishes above the ear. The base is plain and stepped, with no lotus and no engraved band, so the weight of the casting reads in the figure rather than in the seat.

What is it?

A Hanuman murti is cast in one of two settled postures, standing with the mace shouldered or seated with one palm raised, and the figure is placed facing the family shrine in most households.

Also known as a Bajrangbali murti, Hanuman ji ki murti, Anjaneya idol or peetal Hanuman statue.

How do I look after it?

Wash by hand with a mild dishwashing liquid and a soft sponge. Dry fully with a cloth before putting it away — water left standing is what causes spotting.
Brass darkens. It reacts with air and with the oils on your hands, and a piece in daily use will dull within weeks. That is the metal telling you it is not plated.
To bring the shine back: a paste of lemon juice and salt, or tamarind pulp, or a proprietary brass cleaner. Rub, rinse, dry. Two minutes.
Do not use steel wool, scouring pads or bleach.
Not dishwasher safe. Not microwave safe.
If you would rather it stayed dark, leave it alone — a settled patina protects the surface.

Questions about this piece

Is this brass solid or plated?

Solid cast brass. At 700 g it is the heaviest murti in the group for its height, and a plated shell would not come close, so a kitchen scale on the day it lands settles the question.

Will it look exactly like the photograph?

Close. The face and the crown are filed by hand after casting, so the line of the brow, the set of the tail and the brightness of the polish shift a little from one murti to the next.

How tall is it really?

Not measured, so not printed. A murti is the easiest thing in this trade to misjudge from a photograph, which is exactly why we are not going to estimate it from one. The weight above was measured. Tell us the shelf it is going on and we will measure the piece and answer.

Can I do abhishek on it?

Light abhishek is workable here, since the base is plain and sheds water. Dry the piece straight after with a soft cloth, because unlacquered brass left wet in the folds of the robe will mark.

What is the ring beside his hip?

A circle stands on edge against the left hip, worked with a raised pattern. We are confirming with the maker what it represents before naming it here, rather than guessing from the photograph.
