A small considered figure
This brass figure depicts Lakshmi in a compact, hand-finished form. At 49 mm tall and 52 g in weight, it has enough presence to anchor a small shelf or altar without dominating the space around it. The solid brass body gives it a pleasant, slightly cool feel in the hand and a soft, warm gleam under home lighting.
Workmanship
The figure is hand-cast in brass, with the details refined by hand. Small variations from one piece to the next are part of the character of this kind of metalwork — fine differences in the surface or the polish are not flaws but evidence of real craft.
Where to place it
Suitable spots include a personal altar, a quiet shelf, a desk, or a corner of the living room where the eye rests naturally. The small size lets you combine it with other meaningful items — a candle, a stone, a piece of cloth — without crowding the space.
Care and cleaning
Wipe the figure with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid harsh metal cleaners; over time, brass develops a gentle patina that many people prefer to keep. If you would rather restore the bright shine, use a metal polish made for brass and follow the maker's instructions closely.
