The statue is handcrafted using the traditional Lost-Wax Method in copper alloy. Its surface carries an antique oxidized finish paired with silver-plated detailing. The figure's form and ornamental details are shaped through intricate hand carvings throughout. An artisan from Patan, Nepal, created this piece by hand. Every contour reflects a slow and deliberate process, refined through years of practice. The oxidized surface gives the statue a weathered, layered visual quality. Silver-plated accents highlight specific details against the darker copper tone. Nothing about this piece feels rushed or mass-produced. In its finished form, the piece measures 6.5 inches high, 5.25 inches wide, and 3.5 inches deep.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eNaga Kanya in South Asian and Himalayan Traditions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eNaga Kanya generally refers to a female figure associated with the naga tradition. Interpretations of this figure can vary across regional cultures and traditions. Nagas are traditionally represented as serpent-associated beings in South Asian religious traditions. Naga imagery appears within broader Hindu, Buddhist, and Himalayan artistic traditions. This imagery can be found across different religious and artistic contexts, including Nepalese art. These traditions vary by region, community, and religious lineage. This particular statue is not identified as a specific named deity or naga queen. This description offers general cultural context rather than a fixed interpretation. No claims of protection, fertility, or supernatural power are implied here.

A wax model is shaped first, then cast into solid metal. The artisan then carves fine details across the entire surface. The figure's posture, clothing, and ornamental elements receive close individual attention. The antique oxidized finish adds depth and a weathered visual character. Silver-plated detailing contrasts against the darker oxidized copper surface. Together, these treatments create texture and visual interest across the form. This oxidized appearance reflects a deliberate finishing technique, not natural aging. The word antique here describes the statue's visual character and finish.
