Bead strands hang from the collar to below the knee, and small coloured stones are set into the centre strand. A scarf lifts away from the raised arm and stops in a squared-off end. The base is a low domed mound rather than a flat plate, with a conch and a pair of round bosses worked into its front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Shrinathji murti shows Krishna with one arm lifted straight above the head, the gesture of raising the hill, and the face kept broad and still rather than cut in fine relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare and use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo bring the shine back: a paste of lemon juice and salt, or tamarind pulp, or a proprietary brass cleaner. Rub, rinse, dry. Two minutes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use steel wool, scouring pads or bleach.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot dishwasher safe. Not microwave safe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you would rather it stayed dark, leave it alone — a settled patina protects the surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this brass solid or plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSolid cast brass. The piece weighs 250 g, and a plated shell of the same height would come in far lighter, so a kitchen scale settles it in a second on the day it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it look exactly like the photograph?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eClose, but not identical. The beadwork and the crown are finished by hand after casting, so the sharpness of the bead rows and the tone of the satin surface move a little between one murti and the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow tall is it really?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe have not put a tape to it, so there is no height on this page and we will not print an estimate. The weight is the number we do have, and on a cast figure it tells you more than height does, because two murtis of the same height can differ by a kilo. If the height decides it, write to us and we will measure this one before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I do abhishek on it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetter not. Water lodges between the bead strands and round the set stones, and unlacquered brass left wet there will stain. Dry the murti with a soft cloth after pooja instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the coloured stones glued on?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey sit in shallow cells cut into the centre bead strand, set rather than painted. We are checking the material of the stone with the maker and will state it here once the answer is in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach 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.
