Indian Pilgrimage Figure of Lakshmi

Slim, upright, and a little darker than her sister.

Maharashtra, India, is the origin of this brass pilgrimage figure of Lakshmi, dated to the 19th century or earlier. Figures of the goddess are commonly associated with prosperity and domestic worship. Here she stands on a stepped lotus-style base, with a pointed crown and a head slightly turned. Her right arm hangs while the left lifts a small object. The folds of her clothing are indicated by fine vertical lines, and the surface has worn dark and smooth.

About 2 inches tall. Ideal for a windowsill with ambitions.
