{"product_id":"5-sai-baba-super-fine-brass-double-chola-finish","title":"5″ Sai Baba | Super Fine Brass | Double Chola Finish","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis handcrafted Sai Baba idol, cast in super fine brass, stands 5 inches (12.5 cm) tall, 2 inches (5 cm) wide, and 1.5 inches (4 cm) deep, weighing approximately 250 g, and presents the saint in his characteristic seated posture — one leg raised with the foot resting on the opposite knee, right hand lifted with the palm open and an Om symbol clearly visible at its centre, the left hand resting open on the lowered knee in a gesture of calm receptivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe figure is produced using traditional lost-wax casting, a process that requires sustained skill at every stage, from wax modelling and mould preparation through to metal pour and hand finishing. Sai Baba is depicted seated on a naturalistically rendered rocky base, his simple draped garment falling across his torso and limbs in clearly articulated folds. His characteristic cloth cap wraps the head, and his face carries a quality of quiet, composed attention — a short beard rendered with fine definition, the eyes holding a settled, inward quality. The raised right hand is carefully resolved at this scale, fingers distinct and the Om marking on the palm legible. Super fine brass casting preserves the clarity of the fabric creases, the facial structure, and the uneven texture of the stone base without loss of definition across the full form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSai Baba of Shirdi is venerated across Hindu, Muslim, and Sufi traditions as a saint of uncommon compassion and spiritual authority. He taught the unity of all religious paths, placing faith, patience, and charity at the centre of his teaching. His seated form with hand raised in blessing is among the most widely kept devotional images in Indian households and reflects the enduring reverence for a teacher who belonged to no single tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrass, an alloy of copper and zinc, has been central to Indian devotional and decorative metalwork for centuries. It holds fine cast detail with high fidelity, develops a warm tonal depth over time, and is structurally durable — qualities that suit it equally for active ritual use and long-term display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis sculpture carries a double chola finish, visible in the layered interplay of deep teal-green tones settling into the recessed areas of the garment, the base, and the body, set against the warm amber-gold that reads across the raised surfaces — the face, the raised hand, the lower leg, and the foot. The two registers work together to give the piece the depth and character of a well-aged devotional object. Handcrafted pieces carry natural variation in surface texture and tone between individual sculptures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Sai Baba idol is well suited for a puja room or home altar, for gifting on occasions of religious significance such as Guru Purnima or Diwali, or as a collector's piece in Indian devotional brassware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e At Cosmic Studio, every sculpture is individually handcrafted, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike. Minor variations in color, texture, and detailing are a natural result of the artisanal process and are considered marks of authenticity. These unique characteristics, along with potential differences in lighting and screen displays, may cause the product to appear slightly different from the images shown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosmic Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44115094306851,"sku":"CS-PART1-OCT-0603","price":3699.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/0448\/0547\/files\/DZ6A0603.webp?v=1793360844","url":"https:\/\/cosmicstudio.in\/products\/5-sai-baba-super-fine-brass-double-chola-finish","provider":"Cosmic Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
