Wooden Shiva Statue With Cobra 50cm

A hand-carved Suar wood Shiva statue for creating a steady focal point in a hallway, studio, meditation corner or quiet living space. The cobra iconography gives the piece a watchful, ceremonial presence, while the natural wood keeps it warm rather than austere. What the carving brings into the room The form has a strong devotional character, suited to a space where one object is meant to hold attention. Suar wood gives the statue a natural warmth, with the grain becoming part of the visual depth. The cobra detail adds a clear symbolic note without making the piece feel crowded. Its substantial weight gives it a grounded feel once placed on a stable surface. Small variations, marks or fine cracks may appear, as each statue is carved by hand rather than made to look identical. Carved Suar wood from Indonesia The statue is carved by hand from Suar wood using traditional Balinese tools. That handwork matters here: the surface, expression and finer details will vary slightly from piece to piece, giving each one its own character. How to place and care for it Set it on a level, stable surface where the weight is properly supported. A console table, low altar, shelf or quiet corner works well, as long as the statue is not likely to be knocked. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Keep the wood away from prolonged damp, standing water and harsh cleaning products, as natural timber can mark or change with moisture. Shiva and the cobra in context In Hindu iconography, Shiva is often shown with a cobra, traditionally identified with Vasuki. The serpent is part of Shiva’s visual language, associated in the tradition with disciplined power, stillness and the ability to remain composed in the presence of danger. Here, the cobra gives the statue a more watchful and formal presence, making it especially suited to a contemplative home setting. Size, weight and details Listed height: 50 cm. Weight: 6700 g.

A meaningful gift for a thoughtful home This is a considered gift for someone who appreciates Hindu art, carved wooden sculpture, yoga spaces or symbolic home décor.

No. Each one is hand-carved from wood, so small differences in carving, grain, tone and natural surface marks are part of the piece. Can natural cracks or imperfections appear? Yes. Because this is a hand-carved wooden statue, small imperfections or fine cracks may be present and are considered part of its handmade character.
