Introducing our exquisite custom brass statue, handcrafted in the traditional Dhokra art style. This unique piece features Lord Ganesha’s head affixed to a resting Nandi bull, symbolizing the ubiquitous presence of Lord Shiva.

Adding to the charm, a small mouse companion sits atop Nandi, complete with a symbolic trident on its head, signifying protection and divine power.

Dust with a dry, soft cloth. For a deeper clean use tamarind paste or lemon and salt, then rinse and dry at once. Brass darkens into a patina with age — many collectors prefer it. Avoid chemical polishes on the coil detail.
Each casting needs its own clay mould, broken to release the metal. Coil spacing, surface texture and tone vary piece to piece. That variation is the craft's signature, not a fault.
