AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This statue depicts Lakshmi (or Mahalakshmi), the Hindu goddess of wealth, fortune, and prosperity. The work shown is a hand-carved figure, which, depending on its style, is made marble.
Key Features and Symbolism
Four Arms: The goddess's four hands symbolize the four goals of human life: dharma (virtue), artha (material well-being), kama (desire), and moksha (liberation).
Lotus Flowers: She often holds lotuses in her upper hands, symbolizing purity and spiritual development.
Mudra (hand position): One hand is often in the abhaya mudra (fearlessness/protection) posture, while the other is in the varada mudra (giving blessings).
Pose: Typically seated on a lotus throne or chair, often in the Lalitasana pose (one leg bent, the other hanging down), which suggests royal dignity.

We can post it carefully packaged, in an insured, registered package.
