I’m commissioning a single-piece sandstone panel measuring 101 x 42 inches that depicts Shreenathji with a cow and lotus motifs. The look I’m after is firmly traditional—think classic Nathdwara iconography—yet with a moderate level of carved detail so the forms are clear without becoming overly ornate. Key requirements • Carving depth and detailing: moderate, enough to highlight facial expression, jewellery, the cow’s contours and the lotus blooms. • Finish: matte, leaving the natural character of the stone visible rather than a glossy polish. • Composition: Shreenathji in the central stance (lifted arm), cow to one side, lotus elements framing the lower section. Please keep all proportions coherent within the stated panel size. • Stone: light or mid-tone sandstone suitable for exterior installation. • Approval steps: initial pencil or CAD sketch, a small clay or plaster maquette (or high-resolution 3D render) for proportion review, then progress photos at 30 % and 70 % completion. • Final deliverable: the finished 101 x 42 inch sandstone panel, cleaned, sealed with a breathable protector, and securely crated for transport. I’ll handle freight once the piece is crated, but need guidance on best packing methods for sandstone of this size. Let me know your carving experience with Hindu iconography, examples of similar work, and the estimated timeline from sketch to dispatch.
