拍品描述
A FINE BRONZE FIGURE OF LAKSHMI, INDIA, NAYAKA PERIOD, CIRCA 17TH-18TH CENTURY Finely cast, the four-armed goddess standing erect upon a circular lotus pedestal raised on a high stepped square base, the principal right hand lowered in varadamudra and the principal left held before the body in a gesture of abhayamudra. The upper hands hold her attributes, including a rosary and lotus. She is clad in a long, closely fitted dhoti secured by an elaborate girdle and falling in finely delineated folds, the body richly adorned with necklaces, armlets, bracelets, anklets, and beaded jewelry. The serene face is modeled with almond-shaped eyes beneath gently arched brows, a straight nose, and full lips forming a subtle smile, flanked by elongated earlobes suspending elaborate earrings. Her hair is gathered into a tall tiered jatamukuta, the reverse with shirashchakra.
