SOLD Lakshmi Statue Holding 2 Lotus Flowers 30"

This bronze Lakshmi statue is currently on display in the Chopra Center in Carlsbad California.  Lotus Sculpture is overjoyed to be showcasing some of our statuary alongside the services of such a renown thinker and healer such as Deepak Chopra.

This stunning bronze Lakshmi is holding two lotus flowers, a symbol of beauty, prosperity and fertility.  Her other two hands are in the varada mudra granting boons to her devotees.  The varada mudra symbolizes charity, compassion and boon-granting.  This style Lakshmi is typical of the south Indian style in that she is decorated with lavish jewelery and is standing in a bent posture with her hips out to one side.  No details are spared in her fine head dress, necklaces, robes and leggings.  The time of carving the artist must make on a sculpture with this amount of detail is significant.   She stands in a zig zag posture with her legs and head being parallel and her torso bent in the middle joining the two parallel sides.   Her lips have a slight sublime smile.  Her breasts are covered which give her a motherly, modest appearance.
