Care & Maintenance

 How to Care for Sacred Masterworks

A museum-grade piece of art is built to last for generations, but it requires mindful stewardship. Here is how to maintain the energy and physical beauty of your pieces:

• Caring for Deity Sculptures: Our bronze and brass sculptures naturally develop a rich patination over time as they interact with the air. Never use harsh chemical cleaners, brass-polishing sprays, or abrasive cloths, as these will permanently strip the artisan's finish. Instead, gently dust them with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. If a piece features gold-gilding, avoid touching the face directly with bare hands, as skin oils can affect the surface over decades.

• Preserving Thangka Mandalas: Frame your illuminated canvas under UV-protective glass whenever possible. Keep the Thangka entirely away from direct, harsh sunlight, which can fade the ancient mineral pigments over time. Avoid hanging them in high-moisture areas like bathrooms or directly above damp humidifiers.

• Nurturing Acoustic Singing Bowls: To maintain the pure harmonic resonance of your seven-metal bowl, wipe the interior clean with a dry cloth after use. If you use a suede or wooden mallet, ensure it stays dry to prevent moisture from transferring to the metal rim.
