This copper-coloured goddess statue recalls the ancient tradition of the divine feminine: a symbol of fertility, life and creative force. The 13 cm figure comes from a Nepalese workshop, is made of polyresin, and its warm copper-toned surface shines pleasantly in natural light.
The tradition of ancient goddess figures
One of the oldest expressions of human spirituality is the sculpting of female figures embodying fertility. Archaeologists have found similar shapes across Eurasia – from Sardinia to Siberia – and the oldest may be as much as 35,000 years old. These figures represent the feminine principle, the continuity of life and the abundance of nature.
The meaning of the copper colour
Copper is a colour of warmth, flow and emotional openness. In a meditation corner the copper shade gently balances cooler silver and white tones, and brings a human warmth into the space.
Detailed sculpting
The 13 cm height is a manageable size that does not overpower other objects on the altar. The polyresin renders the curved lines of the body, the hair details and the position of the hands finely. The surface is matte copper, so it does not glare but still shines warmly.
Where to place it at home
A meditation altar, a bookshelf or a separate flower-stand shelf are good locations. You will likely sense how intimate a mood the copper shade creates on a wooden or stone surface.
Cleaning and care
Wipe dust with a soft brush or a dry microfibre cloth. For heavier marks, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges and acidic chemicals so that the copper shade keeps its warmth for many years.
