Bronzed & coloured – Asian deity figurines with coloured accents
In contrast to purely bronze-toned figurines, bronzed and coloured pieces are worked with coloured details – robe colours, skin tones and ornamental elements emerge from the bronze ground and lend the figurines more depth. The range covers Buddhist and Hindu deities: Ganesha, Shiva, Lakshmi, Guanyin, Kali, Tara, Hanuman, Saraswati, Krishna and Kubera, rounded out by Feng Shui figurines with Asian symbols of fortune such as the money frog and the money tree.
Buddhist and Hindu deities – motifs and meanings
The figurines in this category come from two distinct religious traditions. Buddhist deities such as Guanyin, the goddess of compassion, Tara as protectress alongside the historical Buddha Shakyamuni sit next to Hindu gods: Ganesha is regarded as god of new beginnings and wisdom, Shiva as god of change and transformation, Lakshmi as goddess of fortune and prosperity, Kali as goddess of time and transformation. Rounding out the range come Saraswati, goddess of the arts and knowledge, alongside Hanuman, the monkey god of strength and devotion.
Every figurine is executed bronzed and coloured – the bronze tones are complemented by coloured detailing in red, gold, green or white, so that each figurine speaks its own visual language. For anyone who prefers uniformly bronze-toned figurines without coloured accents, these sit under Bronze Finish. Hand-painted coloured figurines with stronger colour stand ready under Hand-Painted. The full Buddha and Asian decor range is available under Buddha Figurines.
