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 polished plain brass — bright, golden, and warm — with hand-engraved detailing where present. It will deepen in tone slightly with age. 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

Use as a dry vase or with a glass liner if displaying fresh flowers. Polish occasionally with brass cleaner to maintain the bright finish.

Each piece is hand-cast individually. Slight variation in finish and dimension is part of the character of the work.

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.
