Indian Pilgrimage Figure of Lakshmi

She holds a small bud and walks forward.

This pilgrimage figure of Lakshmi is brass from Maharashtra, India, dated to the 19th century or earlier. Small figures of Lakshmi, goddess of wealth and fortune, are commonly kept in home shrines or carried as devotional objects. She stands on a square base, wearing a tall conical crown, with one arm extended downward and the other raised, holding a small flower-like form. The cast details are soft and rubbed, in a deep golden-brown metal.

About 2 inches tall. A small goddess with a good eye for position.
