  • Sale! stunning pair of meticulously hand-carved stone elephant statues, rendered in a warm, earthy reddish-brown hue that suggests natural sandstone or terracotta material, stands prominently against a dark, featureless background. Each elephant is captured in a dynamic and majestic pose, standing gracefully on its hind legs with its thick trunk raised high and elegantly curled back towards its head, signifying good luck, welcome, and prosperity. Its forelegs are bent at the elbow and raised forward, almost in a gesture of greeting, blessing, or a celebratory dance. Both statues are identical mirror images, showcasing a rich tapestry of traditional Indian artistry. They are heavily adorned with intricate decorative elements: a detailed, crown-like cap graces each elephant's head, featuring delicate patterns and textures that resemble beadwork or stylized foliage. Large, rounded ears are also subtly textured. A beautifully patterned saddlecloth or ceremonial blanket is draped over their backs and sides, deeply carved with large, swirling, organic motifs that resemble paisleys or elaborate floral scrollwork. This main design is bordered by narrower bands of geometric patterns or stylized garlands. The stone has a slightly matte, weathered finish, which enhances the depth and texture of the carvings, particularly where lighter tones catch the ambient light, highlighting the exquisite craftsmanship. Each elephant rests on a sturdy, oval-shaped pedestal base, which is itself decorated with a continuous, deeply carved frieze of elegant, interlocking scrollwork or vine patterns, mirroring the artistry on the elephants' bodies. The watermark "the Stone Studio" is visible on the side of each elephant's body, indicating the origin and artisanal quality of these handcrafted stone art pieces. These ornate elephant sculptures, representing traditional Indian culture and Hindu symbolism often associated with wisdom, strength, loyalty, and good fortune, would make ideal decorative pieces for home decor, spiritual spaces, or as cultural artifacts. Their symmetrical design makes them perfect as elegant bookends, entryway guardians, or accent pieces, exemplifying superior craftsmanship in traditional stone carving.

  • magnificent and intricately carved sandstone sculpture depicting Siddhartha Gautama Buddha in a meditative posture, set against a plain, dark gray background that accentuates its warm, reddish-brown, terracotta-like hue. The Buddha is seated in the full lotus position (Padmasana) on a double-tiered lotus pedestal, symbolizing purity and spiritual awakening. His hands are gently resting in his lap in the Dhyana Mudra (meditation gesture), conveying deep contemplation and inner peace. His expression is serene and tranquil, with downcast eyes, indicative of profound introspection. He wears a simple, flowing monastic robe draped over his left shoulder, subtly revealing the contours of his form. His head features tightly curled hair and a prominent ushnisha (cranial protuberance), a symbolic mark of his wisdom and enlightenment. Behind the Buddha's head, a circular halo or aureola is delicately carved with intricate patterns, suggesting a divine radiance. The entire figure is framed by a tall, arched stele or backdrop, richly adorned with mythological and auspicious carvings characteristic of ancient Indian or Southeast Asian Buddhist art. At the very top, directly above the Buddha's head, is a decorative parasol-like finial, often signifying royalty or spiritual protection, flanked by stylized foliage or wings. In the upper corners of the stele, two celestial figures or auspicious animals, possibly elephants or mythical creatures, are carved in relief, appearing to offer blessings or support. Further down the sides of the stele, flanking the central halo, are two highly stylized mythical creatures – perhaps hamsas (celestial swans) or garudas – depicted with elaborate flowing tails and wings, adding to the dynamic visual narrative. Below these, intricate scrollwork and floral motifs adorn the vertical panels of the stele, demonstrating exquisite craftsmanship. At the very base of the stele, below the lotus seat, two majestic lion-like figures (simhas) are carved, often seen as guardians or symbols of strength and sovereignty, flanking a central decorative element. This detailed sculpture serves as a powerful representation of Buddhist spiritual art, embodying serenity, wisdom, and devotional reverence.

  • magnificent, intricately carved sandstone statue of Lord Krishna, depicted in his iconic Tribhanga (triple-bend) pose, stands gracefully against a stark, solid dark grey background. The full-length sculpture, rendered in a warm, light beige or pale pinkish-brown hue, showcases exceptional craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail, highlighting its textured surface. Lord Krishna is portrayed holding a bansuri flute horizontally to his lips, his hands elegantly positioned as if playing a melodious tune. A gentle, serene smile graces his face, with eyes cast slightly downwards, conveying a meditative or devotional expression. He wears a richly ornamented crown (mukut) with a prominent central spire and intricate carvings, along with large, detailed earrings, multiple necklaces, armlets (bajubandh), and bracelets (kangan), all meticulously carved from the same stone. His lower garment, a dhoti, is exquisitely draped with elaborate patterns, flowing and swirling around his legs, suggesting movement and divine energy. An ornate belt (kamarbandh) cinches his waist, adding to the grandeur of his attire. His right leg is gracefully crossed over his left, and he stands poised on a multi-tiered, circular lotus pedestal, also intricately carved. Behind Krishna's head and upper body, an elaborate, flame-like or ornate scrollwork aureole (prabhavali) extends upwards, further enhancing the divine aura of the sculpture. Every inch of the piece, from the delicate folds of his garments to the individual strands of his jewelry and the detailed patterns on the base and aureole, demonstrates the artistic skill involved in this traditional Indian stone carving. The smooth, matte finish of the stone, with subtle shadows highlighting its three-dimensional qualities, underscores its timeless beauty. This detailed handcrafted Krishna idol would be a significant focal point for spiritual spaces, a serene addition to home decor, or an elegant garden ornament, reflecting rich cultural heritage and devotion. The logo "the Stone Studio" is subtly visible at the bottom left, indicating the source of this beautiful stone deity.

  • tall, monochromatic dark grey stone sculpture depicts a four-armed Hindu deity, almost certainly Lord Vishnu, standing centrally in an intricate bas-relief. The deity is adorned with a tall, ornate crown (kiritamukuta) and elaborate jewelry including necklaces, armlets, bracelets, and a waist belt, all finely detailed. Vishnu's front right hand holds a lotus bud, his front left hand rests on a club or mace (gada), his upper left hand grasps a conch shell (shankha), and his upper right hand holds a discus (chakra). He stands in a serene posture on a multi-tiered, circular pedestal, itself resting on a broader rectangular base. The central figure is framed by an ornate, arch-shaped prabhavali (aureole or archway). This archway is richly decorated with a series of smaller narrative panels. Along the inner edges of the arch, there are ten distinct rectangular niches on each side, vertically stacked, likely depicting the Dashavatara (ten incarnations of Vishnu), such as Matsya (fish), Kurma (tortoise), Varaha (boar), Narasimha (man-lion), and Vamana (dwarf), followed by human forms like Parashurama, Rama, Balarama or Krishna, Buddha, and Kalki. The apex of the arch features a prominent Kirtimukha (glory-face) motif, with celestial beings or flying figures in relief on the curved upper sections, flanked by decorative scrolls. Two larger, standing attendant figures, possibly consorts or celestial beings, are carved in relief at the base of the archway, flanking Vishnu. At the very bottom of the sculpture, on the pedestal beneath these attendants, additional smaller figures, appearing as devotees or sages, are depicted kneeling in adoration. The entire piece showcases exceptional traditional Indian stone carving and craftsmanship, with every element meticulously detailed, emphasizing mythological themes and religious iconography. The dark grey, matte finish of the stone evokes a sense of ancient artistry and spiritual gravitas. A transparent watermark for "the Stone" is subtly visible on the lower right side of the sculpture. This sculpture would be highly relevant to articles discussing Hindu deities, traditional Indian temple art, the Dashavatara concept, or the history and techniques of stone carving in India.

  • detailed, full-length shot of an intricately carved black stone statue depicting Lord Vitthal (also known as Vithoba or Panduranga), a revered Hindu deity. The statue stands centrally on a sturdy, dark rectangular pedestal, which is adorned with subtle, traditional patterns carved along its base. Lord Vitthal is shown in his iconic Samacharana (or 'Katihasta Mudra') pose, standing straight with both hands gently resting on his hips, palms facing inward. He wears a distinctively tall, conical crown (mukut) that is elaborately layered and textured with finely etched patterns. A serene and benevolent smile graces his face, which features finely sculpted details like calm, expressive eyes, a prominent nose, and gentle lips, conveying peace and grace. His chest and neck are richly ornamented with multiple layers of intricate necklaces (malas) and chains, some extending down to his waist, all meticulously detailed. He also sports ornate armlets, bracelets on his wrists, and anklets on his bare feet, adding to his divine appearance. Draped gracefully around his body is a traditional dhoti-like garment, rendered with realistic folds and pleats that suggest flowing fabric, complemented by a shawl or upper garment subtly draped over his shoulders and arms. The sculpture appears to be crafted from a dark, polished stone, possibly granite or a similar material, exhibiting a profound, almost metallic luster that catches the light subtly, highlighting the exquisite craftsmanship. The entire statue is presented against a plain, light grey to white gradient background, emphasizing its form and intricate details without distraction. This image, likely a product shot from "The Stone" as indicated by the faint logo, showcases a beautiful piece of traditional Indian artistry and devotion, suitable for spiritual decor, home altars, or as a valuable collectible reflecting Hindu cultural heritage.
