EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th-18th century brass figurine depicts the revered Hindu Goddess Shri Lakshmi, the deity of wealth, fortune, and prosperity. The goddess is shown in full length, gracefully seated on a lotus flower with her left foot resting on a lotus bud, and her right foot placed on a flat lotus leaf. With her four hands, she gestures in the mudra of granting boons and dispelling fear. The goddess is adorned with intricate jewelry, including a diadem, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and anklets. Her body is adorned with delicate flowers and ornaments, symbolizing her abundant beauty and grace. Her radiant countenance is serene and benevolent, reflecting her role as the embodiment of prosperity and happiness. This figurine is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the artisans of South Asia during the 17th and 18th centuries. The brass has been meticulously worked, with fine details etched into the surface, creating a stunning visual effect. The use of brass as a medium for sculpture was common in Hindu and Buddhist traditions, reflecting the belief that metals, especially those with a golden hue, represented the divine. This figurine is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or religious artifacts, and is a reminder of the rich artistic and cultural heritage of India and Southeast Asia. It is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire awe and admiration from visitors and scholars alike.
