{"product_id":"saraswati-marble-statue-18-inch-ornate-carved-temple-murti","title":"Saraswati Marble Statue 18 Inch – Carved Temple Murti","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSaraswati Marble Statue — 18 Inches | Ornate Relief-Carved Culture Marble | Hand-Crafted in Jaipur\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNothing on this piece is painted. Everything you see — the tall, circular-emblem crown rising like a halo behind her head, the dense scrollwork climbing both sides of her throne, the individual feathers of the peacock seated at her feet, the small bird resting in one of her raised hands — all of it is carved directly into the culture marble in continuous relief, then finished with gold to catch the raised edges. It's a technique closer to temple stone-carving than statue-painting, and very few artisans in Jaipur still work at this density of detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHer seat is a fully petaled lotus resting on a wide carved plinth, the scrollwork on either side curling outward like living vines rather than a static decorative border. The peacock at her feet isn't a small accent — its tail feathers are rendered in the same fine relief as the throne, fanned out and individually defined. Where our painted Saraswatis rely on color to bring the piece to life, this one relies entirely on depth, shadow, and the precision of the carving itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 inches (including base)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ivory-toned culture marble, continuous relief carving, gold accent detailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e No painted color — ornamentation carved in relief, gold picking out raised detail only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIconography:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circular-emblem crown, small bird held in one hand, veena in the lower hands, peacock with fully detailed tail feathers at her feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThrone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully petaled lotus on a wide carved plinth with curling scrollwork on both sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrafted by:\u003c\/strong\u003e Master artisans in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustomization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Size and finish customization available — contact us before ordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Securely boxed with protective foam padding for safe transit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e International freight worldwide — 50+ countries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated temple rooms and formal mandirs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollectors of fine relief-carved sculpture — a genuinely rare craft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA distinctive centerpiece gift for milestone occasions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who wants a Saraswati that looks nothing like the mass-produced versions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this statue made of real marble?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis piece is culture marble — a hand-finished composite of marble powder and binding materials, more resistant to cracking than natural stone, carved rather than painted for its ornamental detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is there no bright color on this piece?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis design uses continuous relief carving instead of painted color — the crown, throne scrollwork, and peacock's feathers are all sculpted directly into the marble surface, then gold-accented, a slower and rarer technique than hand-painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCrafted by Jaipur's Master Artisans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFine relief carving by \u003cstrong\u003eRishi Ji\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose detail work defines our most intricate pieces — a skill few sculptors in Jaipur still practice at this depth.
