Oxidation [Chocolate color]
Oxidation is the process by which a statue is given an artificial oxidation using chemicals. This process is especially good for people who do not like the shiny gold finish in the statue or glossy finish. This adds a natural oxidation patina to the statue, hence the color is permanent and will not ware off easily.

Partly Gold Plated [Painted Face]
This is a partly gold plated statue or half Gold plated statue. The gold is plated in the traditional method of fire gold plating. We use fire gold plating method because of its precision. This is a traditional Tibetan practise for the statue as they are made more relevant to match the human skin tone with color being plated along with gold. The clothes are then oxidized to brown color representing the dress of the monks. Then the face is painted so that the eyes and mouth are more defined.

Full Electro Gold Plated
Electric Gold plating is a method of depositing a thin layer of gold onto the surface of another metal, mostly copper or silver, by electrochemical plating. This is a new technique of plating the statue with gold. As mercury is soon going to be a banned substance in Nepal, Fire Gold Plating does not have a future in the long run. Hence more and more artists are opting for this method of gold plating. This method of Gold plating is much cheaper than the fire gold plating. It has a shorter life span than fire Gold plating but if maintained properly it will not go dim. Also we put extra protective layer for it to last longer and give it a better shine.
