Lakshmi with Coins for Prosperity Hindu Indian BRONZE Sculpture STATUE
Item No. 8072
Reproduction after Museum Original
Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, happiness and beauty emerged from the ocean of milk when the Gods
churned it to produce Amrita (divine nectar) and she at once became Vishnu’s consort. She is pictured as
an ideal of slim-waist, full breasted feminine beauty. When she is depicted separately from Vishnu as in
this case, she has four hands: in two of them she is holding lotus flowers, while the other two bestow the
gifts of well-being and prosperity. When she is depicted with Vishnu, Lakshmi has only two hands. She sits
or stands on the lotus flower, and sometimes has elephants on either side. The new moon night of
November is dedicated to her annual ceremony. Lakshmi is said to reside in sweet-smelling floral
garlands which bring fortune and wealth to the wearer. She also has a role as a fertility goddess and is
particularly linked to the richness of the soil.
Made from lost-wax bronze 100% pure bronze.
Dimensions: 4.5"High (37cm)
Weight: 7 lbs
