LARGE HAND-CARVED WOODEN STATUE OF GODDESS LAKSHMI - $300 (Cullowhee/Glenville/Cashiers)
QR Code Link to This Post
This radiant and commanding figure shows Lakshmi seated serenely on a lotus pedestal — the lotus symbolizing purity, divine beauty, and spiritual unfolding. She is depicted in a traditional four-armed form, holding lotus flowers in two hands and gesturing with the other two: one in abhaya mudra (offering fearlessness and protection), and one in varada mudra (granting boons and blessings). Her expression is calm, benevolent, and deeply peaceful.
Carved in high relief from a single block of richly grained hardwood — likely teak or rosewood — the statue features remarkable detail: elaborate jewelry, intricate headdress, cascading hair, and layered drapery. The artist’s craftsmanship is especially evident in the ornate lotus base, swirling motifs, and rhythmic textures across the figure’s limbs and garments. The statue has been stained a warm brown and oiled to a soft sheen, enhancing its sculptural depth.
The style and iconography suggest South Indian origins, and the statue was likely produced in the late 20th or early 21st century. This is a devotional object — not a tourist carving — and it carries a strong spiritual presence.
Approximate dimensions:
Height: 36 inches
Width: 17 inches
Depth: 7 inches
