{"product_id":"9-5-lakshmi-on-lotus-base-handcrafted-brass-antique-green-finish","title":"9.5″ Lakshmi on Lotus Base | Handcrafted Brass | Antique Green Finish","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis handcrafted brass sculpture of Goddess Lakshmi stands 9.5 inches (24 cm) tall, 5.5 inches (14.5 cm) wide, and 6 inches (15 cm) deep, weighing approximately 3.4 kg, and is finished in an antique green patina that gives the surface a deeply aged, mineral character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe figure is cast in brass and finished by hand, with close attention to the iconographic conventions that define classical representations of Lakshmi. She is depicted seated in a relaxed posture on a fully bloomed lotus base, with one leg folded beneath her and the other raised — a pose that conveys ease and natural grace rather than rigid formality. Her four arms extend outward, with the upper two hands each holding a lotus blossom in bloom, their petals clearly articulated at the fingertips. The lower right hand is open in a gesture of benediction, while the lower left rests naturally against her raised knee. Her tall, tiered crown rises in stacked rings to a rounded finial at the apex, and her hair is dressed in waves that frame a composed, oval face with a calm, inward expression. The torso carries layered necklaces, armlets, and a detailed waistband, all rendered through surface casting that reflects the density of classical temple sculpture. The lotus pedestal is carved with layered petal rows and sits on a broad, stepped circular base that grounds the figure with quiet stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLakshmi is the goddess of prosperity, abundance, and auspiciousness in Hindu tradition. Her seat on the lotus, and the blooms she holds, are theologically deliberate — the lotus rises from still water untouched by it, representing the quality of abundance held with equanimity and detachment. She is central to daily household worship and to observances such as Diwali and Varalakshmi Vratam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrass, an alloy of copper and zinc, has been used for Indian devotional sculpture for centuries. It accepts fine casting detail reliably, carries meaningful weight relative to its size, and develops a stable surface character that suits both active puja use and long-term display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe antique green finish produces a cool, muted patina that settles deeper into the recessed carving of the jewelry, lotus petals, and crown, while the raised surfaces of the face and hands carry a slightly warmer, burnished tone — visible clearly in the photograph. Each handcrafted piece carries natural variation in the depth and distribution of this finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis sculpture is well suited for a puja room, a home altar, or as a considered gift for housewarmings, weddings, or collectors of classical Indian devotional art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e At Cosmic Studio, every sculpture is individually handcrafted, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike. Minor variations in color, texture, and detailing are a natural result of the artisanal process and are considered marks of authenticity.
