      d. FAQs (Customized)<\/h4>\n
        \n
      1. What is ‘Jali’ carving?<\/b>\n
          \n
        • Jali is the technique of piercing or carving intricate patterns through stone, creating a lace-like screen, which often gives the illusion of a design (or even a second object) inside the piece.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
        • Is this figurine durable despite the carving?<\/b>\n
            \n

          • How should I clean the small crevices of the Jali work?<\/b>\n
              \n
            • Use a soft, clean, dry brush (like a makeup brush or soft toothbrush) to gently remove dust from the carved sections.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
            • Is this product available in a larger size?<\/b>\n
                \n
