Gifts for your colleagues shouldn’t be boring or meaningless. Give a gift that has timeless appeal and lasts a lifetime! Your regular gifts, like office supplies, don't really fall into this category. Meaningful office gift-giving doesn’t mean overstepping any boundaries in a professional setting; it is for strengthening professional relationships. A sandstone sculpture embodies timeless craftsmanship. It adds character and calm to any professional setting while commanding attention with its natural aura. Presenting a sculpture to a colleague is not just a gesture—it is the gift of heritage, a story to be treasured for years to come.
The Historical Beauty of Sandstone
The formation of sandstones is in itself a geological heritage. It forms when sand grains are compressed together and turned into solid sandstones. The process of sedimentation takes millions of years, and then you get these beautiful rocks, famous for their "gritty" feel and beautiful earthy colors.
Due to its layered structure, it is ideal for carving. The first step in sculpting has always been selecting the appropriate stone. When you touch one of the sandstone sculptures, you can feel a texture that nature spent millions of years perfecting. That’s why sandstone has been the most preferred medium for sculptures. It has that timeless aesthetic appeal; that’s why there are several heritage pieces made of sandstone.
What are the best symbolic sandstone sculptures for colleagues?
Buddha Head: Buddha statues are always a popular gift choice. Elegant, meaningful, and perfect for office desks. Giving a Buddha stone sculpture to your office colleague means wishing them calm amidst chaos.
Adi Varaha: Varaha is the form of Vishnu and has been the royal insignia for many ancient rulers, especially for Gupta rulers. It is a symbol of protection and leadership.
Kamdhenu: You can also give a simple yet divine sculpture of a Kamdhenu. It’s a wish-fulfilling cow, born out of Samudra Manthan, that brings prosperity to its keeper.
Sanchi Torana: Torana isn’t just an entry gate for the stupa. It is a symbolic representation of space demarcation. Separation from materialism is important before heading towards knowledge and liberation.
Natesh Shiva: The bronze Nataraja idol is a very common gift, but not many are aware of its calmer and more composed version of Natesh Shiva. You can give a dancing Shiva made of sandstone, which can spark curiosity in your colleagues.
