Idols and statues (new)
Newly made brass and bronze idols from Kerala's bell-metal workshops, and carved statues, for a temple, a church, a shop or a home abroad. New pieces only: an antique needs an antiquity certificate and other clearances before it can leave India, and we do not deal in antiques.
