Richly represented in shining brass, copper, and silver metals, the goddess Lakshmi rests atop a gleaming lotus pedestal and extends a real Indian Rupee coin as a harbinger of prosperity. Her purity and spiritual power are closely linked to the lotuses that surround her- she holds two in her upper hands, has a disc adorned with lotus petals behind her head. The lotus rises untouched from the mud, clean and fresh and able to fulfill its potential free from the burdens of the physical world. While she manifests abundance and wealth, she also retains a perpetual expression of love and welcome. Beautiful and intriguing, this 8" tall goddess is absolutely a being worth having on your side! Fine detail makes this piece a true work of traditional artistry.
