EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 13th century figurine depicts the Hindu Goddess Shridevi, also known as Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. The Goddess is shown in full length, standing gracefully with her right hand in the gesture of giving (Varada Mudra) and her left hand in the gesture of protection (Abhaya Mudra). The Goddess is adorned with intricate jewelry, a diadem, and a long flowing dress, adding to her regal and divine appearance. The Goddess Shridevi is believed to bring abundance, prosperity, and good fortune to her devotees. This copper alloy sculpture, originating from India or Southeast Asia, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Hindu civilization during the 13th century. The figurine is now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), adding to its significance as a cultural artifact and a valuable addition to the museum's collection. The Goddess Shridevi is a popular deity in Hinduism, particularly in India and Southeast Asia, and continues to be revered by millions of people around the world. The sculpture's intricate details and beautiful coloration, despite being over 800 years old, are a reminder of the enduring power and influence of Hinduism and its artistic traditions. The unknown creator of this masterpiece remains a mystery, but their work continues to inspire and captivate audiences, providing a glimpse into the past and a connection to the present and future of Hindu culture and spirituality.
