9.5″ Lakshmi on Lotus Base | Handcrafted Brass | Green Stone Finish

This 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 a green stone patina that gives the surface a cool, aged mineral quality.

The figure is cast in brass and finished by hand, with careful 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, whose petals are carved in layered rows and rendered with clean, deliberate lines along the rim. Her four arms are extended outward at the sides, with the upper two hands each holding a lotus blossom in bloom — a gesture consistent with Lakshmi iconography across centuries of Indian temple sculpture. The lower right hand rests open in a gesture of offering or benediction, while the lower left rests at her side. Her tall, tiered crown rises to a rounded finial at the apex, and her hair flows in dressed waves framing an oval face with a composed, inward expression. The torso is adorned with layered necklaces, armlets, and a detailed waistband, all articulated through surface casting that reflects the density of traditional devotional forms. The lotus pedestal sits on a broad, stepped circular base that provides stable grounding for the figure.

Lakshmi is the goddess of prosperity, abundance, and auspiciousness in Hindu tradition. Her association with the lotus — both as seat and as the attribute she holds — is theologically precise: the lotus grows from still water without being touched by it, and represents the quality of prosperity held with equanimity. She is central to daily household worship and to observances such as Diwali and Varalakshmi Vratam across India.

Brass, 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.

The green stone finish produces a cool, muted patina — deeper in the recessed carving of the jewelry and lotus petals, and slightly warmer across the raised surfaces of the face and crown, as visible in the photograph. Each handcrafted piece carries natural variation in the depth and distribution of this finish.

This 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.

Note: 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. These unique characteristics, along with potential differences in lighting and screen displays, may cause the product to appear slightly different from the images shown.
