About this collection
In this size band Shiva is kept as a full idol or a shivling, with Nandi or a trishul beside it. Between eight and fifteen inch the piece is large enough to be the focus of a home shrine and small enough for a shelf. Choose the form first: the idol for a full image, the shivling for a simple form, and the trishul as an accompaniment.
Brass suits these pieces because the finish holds up to regular puja. Dust the carved areas with a soft brush and wipe the flat base with a dry cloth. Keep the trishul and any small piece in place so none is knocked off the shelf, and check the base for level after each clean.
