Every morning, the sun rises without fail. It is its nature to illuminate and reveal what was hidden in darkness. The ancient Indian mind recognised this as divine, naming it Surya, the first deity, the source whose chariot crosses the sky daily.
Placing Surya on your wall embodies the quality of bringing light and clarity into your home. Each morning, when light enters your room, you are reminded of the day's purpose.
This handcrafted brass Surya Dev wall sculpture is a commanding piece in the Sepia India collection. At 24 centimetres in diameter and weighing 1.3 kilograms, it is more than a decorative accent; it defines the wall it occupies.
The face of Surya reflects classical South Indian temple tradition, serene features, heavy-lidded eyes, a dignified moustache, and a hint of a smile, revealing one who appreciates the beauty of life. The sacred Vaishnavite tilak marks the deity's identity and solar lineage. The face is three-dimensional, projecting from the disc with sculptural authority.
A border of precisely spaced studs transitions the divine countenance to radiant rays. Each ray is uniquely cast, deeply channelled to create texture and movement. Morning light catches these rays, casting radiating shadows, a second sun in shadow behind the first. It must be experienced in a room.
A single mounting hole at the top allows the piece to hang perfectly centred on any wall.
This is the piece for your east wall, the first wall the morning sun touches, transforming it into the most intentional surface in your home.
