About this piece
2.6" solid brass Lakshmi & Ganesh — Twin lion-crowned arches; declared Ganesh but is a pair. Hand-cast in Moradabad, the brass-craft capital of India, by artisans whose families have been working in metal for generations.
About this deity
Goddess Lakshmi is the bestower of wealth, prosperity, and well-being — material and spiritual. She stands or sits on a lotus, holding lotus blossoms and pouring gold from her palm. Lakshmi is welcomed into the home during Diwali and at every housewarming, and she watches over a family's quiet abundance year-round.

Craft notes
The piece is finished in antique brass — a deliberately darkened patina that settles into recesses and brings out engraved detail. It softens with time and use. The piece is solid brass throughout — there is no plating, no hollow shell. Slight variations in finish, dimension, and weight are inherent to the handmade process and are part of the character of each piece.
Care & placement
A versatile piece — works in a pooja room, an entryway, or as a tabletop accent. Polish occasionally to maintain finish.

Care & placement
Wipe regularly with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh detergents. Brass darkens slightly with age — a soft patina is part of the character. Polish gently with a brass cleaner to restore brightness.
