7″ Divine Lakshmi with Tree | Handcrafted Brass

This 7-inch handcrafted brass sculpture depicts Goddess Lakshmi seated in a composed, frontal posture on a lotus base, with a spreading tree rising behind her as a natural backdrop. The piece measures 7 inches in height, 6.25 inches in width, and 2.75 inches in depth, and weighs 1,600 grams — giving it a substantial, grounded presence that registers immediately when handled.

The figure is four-armed, with each hand rendered in careful detail — two raised in gesture and two extended outward, with the markings on the palms visible in the casting. The face carries a calm, direct expression with defined features, layered crown ornamentation, and circular ear ornaments. The tree behind her fans outward symmetrically, its branches and individual leaves cast with enough definition to read clearly at this scale. The drapery across the lower body is rendered with folded, textured lines, and the lotus throne beneath her is fully formed with layered petals. The level of surface detail across the body, crown, and tree indicates work done through hand-finishing after casting rather than mold detail alone.

Lakshmi is the presiding deity of wealth, prosperity, and material and spiritual abundance in Hindu tradition. Her association with the lotus and with trees — particularly the ashoka and banyan — connects her iconography to fertility, rootedness, and the generative capacity of the natural world. This form, with the tree as backdrop, draws on that symbolic vocabulary directly.

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc that has been used in Indian devotional objects for centuries. It holds fine detail well through the casting process, develops a warm golden tone, and maintains structural integrity over long periods without significant degradation.

This piece is finished in antique polish, which deepens the recessed areas and brings the raised details into sharper relief, producing the layered tonal quality visible in the image. Because each sculpture is individually cast and finished by hand, minor variation in surface tone, texture, and detailing is inherent to the process.

This sculpture is well suited to a home puja room, a dedicated altar space, or as a considered gift for housewarmings, weddings, or religious occasions.
