This Karuppasamy idol is handcrafted in brass with attention given to the deity's distinctive standing posture, facial expression, traditional attire, ornaments and weapons.

The raised arm holding the curved aruval creates a strong vertical composition and immediately draws attention to one of the most recognizable elements of the sculpture. The opposite side features a mace-like attribute positioned beside the standing figure.

The face is sculpted with prominent eyes, a defined moustache and traditional head ornamentation. Additional detailing across the neck ornaments, arms, waist and clothing gives the compact sculpture greater visual depth.

The side views highlight the projection of the raised weapon and the dimensional modelling of the figure, while the rear view reveals detailing across the hair, attire and overall standing posture.

A decorative multi-level peetam supports the figure and features traditional carved patterns around the base. Its broader lower section provides stability while complementing the upright design of the idol.

The yellow antique-style brass finish highlights raised areas and deeper sculpted details, creating natural tonal variations throughout the piece.

As this is a handcrafted brass product, minor differences in detailing, finish and weight between individual pieces are natural.
