This spiritual piece depicts the goddess Deepa Lakshmi (also known as Gaja Lakshmi, often portrayed with elephants), crafted from fine brass . The figure traditionally serves as an oil lamp or decorative representation of divine light and abundance. Hand-forged , the statue follows a traditional and time-honored manufacturing method: the statues are cast from molten brass using the artful lost-wax casting process (Cire Perdue). After casting, the artwork is finished by hand and then carefully patinated , giving the Lakshmi statue a profound, antique character and a rich, expressive surface texture. Measuring approximately 6 cm wide, 18 cm high, and 6 cm deep, this statue is a significant symbol of prosperity, beauty, and light.
