EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 12th century Hindu goddess statue, depicting Shri Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of South Asia. Carved from a single piece of granite, the goddess is beautifully hand-sculpted with intricate details and subtle coloration. Her body is adorned with ornate jewelry and her arms are gracefully positioned in a gesture of blessing and protection. The statue's origins are unknown, but it is believed to have been recut from an earlier piece, as evidenced by the rough edges around the base. Despite this, the figure retains an undeniable sense of grace and serenity. The goddess's eyes are closed in deep meditation, her face serene and peaceful. Her body is adorned with intricate carvings of flowers, leaves, and other decorative motifs, adding to the overall beauty and intricacy of the piece. The statue is a prime example of the artistic achievements of the Hindu civilization during the medieval period. It is a reminder of the deep spiritual traditions and artistic heritage of India and Southeast Asia, and a testament to the enduring influence of Hinduism on world culture. Today, this precious artifact is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire awe and admiration from visitors from all corners of the globe.
