About the Bhaghavad Gita or "Song of the Lord": Arjuna was a master archer and played a central role in the conflict between the Pandavas and their adversaries, the sons of Dhritarashtra known as the Kauravas. Arjuna was reluctant to take part in battle because he knew he would wind up killing most of his adversaries which included many of his own relatives. He was persuaded by his charioteer and close friend Lord Krishna, to change his mind. Their dialogue which is the subject of the Bhagavad-Gita was centered around a warrior�s duty or dharma, the nature of human life and the soul, and the role of gods. Krishna persuades Arjuna to follow his dharma and uphold the moral code of a warrior and to fight even if it is against his own relatives.

Care:  Dust the piece regularly.  If you would like the piece to shine use a cotton cloth with something acidic to remove any patina that is starting to develope. A lemon, lime or tamarind would make it shine like new.
