The thumb and index finger touch to form a circle while the remaining fingers extend upward, representing the transmission of knowledge. It differs from the earth-touching Bhumisparsha gesture and from the meditation Dhyana gesture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is it really?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e12 inches tall, 8 inches wide, 5.5 inches deep, and 3.4 kg. It needs a surface of at least 10 inches and a sturdy one — this is not a lightweight ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it solid brass?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. At 3,425 g the weight confirms it; a plated or hollow piece of these dimensions would weigh a fraction as much.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the finish change over time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrass darkens naturally and the antique gold finish is meant to deepen. Polish it back with a brass cleaner if you prefer it bright, or leave it to patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDust with a dry cloth. Avoid water and never put it in a dishwasher. Use brass polish sparingly and buff dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it go outdoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is made for indoor use. Brass weathers and spots outdoors, so keep it sheltered if you place it on a covered patio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if it arrives damaged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShipping is insured.
