Description: The Senanayaka (commander-in-chief) of Indra’s divine army, Lord Karttikeya infuses this superb brass icon with his guarding presence. An example of the skills and devotion of the artist, the superfine statue carries perfect lines, molding, and polish that create a heavenly representation of Kumara, the youthful god of war and wisdom. Karttikeya stands on a lovely fully bloomed lotus, that symbolizes the perfect bloom of knowledge in him. A crown sits on his symmetrical tresses (visible on the reverse), Tripunda adorns his forehead, ornaments embellish his form, and silken garments delineated with delicateness in metal convey the regalia of the Lord. His animated eyes are the central attraction in this superfine brass icon, etched with perfection to give a sense of a watchful divine protector. In his hands, Karttikeya carries the Vel and gesture of dispelling fear. In the feet of the mighty son of Shiva and Shakti, royalty and divine in the form of an exquisite peacock, bow their heads.Additional Information: itemcode: DDM616
