A superb Maa Lakshmi sculpture to grace the home of the finest devotee. On a layered plinth of fresh lotus blooms She stands, raising the anterior hands in the mudras of aashirvada (blessing) and abhaya (fearlessness). Her long, slender form is as strong and lithe as the delicate stems of the lotus buds in Her posterior hands.
The Lakshmi statue that you see on this page is a one-of-a-kind example of South India’s great sculptural tradition. The medium is a superfine bronze made from a blend of five (‘panca’) different iron-based (‘loha’) alloys. It takes a lot of skill to master madhuchista vidhana, the lost wax metalcasting technique of the shastras, with which a mass of pancaloha has been turned into a Maa Lakshmi sculpture.
This richly detailed work is a visual exposition of feminine splendour. The hips of this smiling Lakshmi Mata statue are jutting laterally outwards. The hems of Her silks fly about Her silhouette and Her adornments rest against Her sharp curves. These accentuate the characteristic curves of the maternal form.
