This superb feminine figure represents Goddess Lakshmi, who with a richly proportioned body, stands here with a swinging right hip. Dignified and graceful, this fine sculpture represents a high point in the annals of South Indian bronze casting, and very successfully captures the traditional Indian aesthetic of an ideal woman.

The fairly elongated face with sharp features faithfully follows the Chola aesthetic canons. A sharp nose is followed by the delicate lips, the lower one being the thicker of the two.

Of her four hands, the two in the front grant the boon of fearlessness and abundance respectively, while the rear arms very gracefully grip the long stems of two full-blown lotuses in their delicate fingers. A number of marvellous chokers adorn her neck, and a long necklace falls over her taut bosom, restrained by a thin band.

The Goddess wears a dhoti which clings to her legs, outlining their sturdy litheness. It is held together at the center with a wide and beautiful waistband. An array of tassels extends down the middle.

The artist has very deftly demonstrated his talent, and the entire sculpture is a maze of intricate carving, with curves being the dominant motif, whether it be the actual body of Lakshmi, or the labyrinth of swirling curls falling over each other to ornament her. Sinuous planes accentuate her inherent lush rotundity and fascinating contours confine her figure.

This sculpture is cast in an alloy known since ancient times as pancha-loha (five metals). These are:

a). Copper (the chief ingredient)

b). Silver

c). Gold

d). Brass

e). White Lead
