Solid Brass Lakshmi Idol

Lakshmi sits on an open lotus, crowned with a sunburst kirita. Her upper hands hold lotus buds; one lower hand is raised in blessing, the other pours a stream of coins. Turn her round and the back of the crown opens into a carved halo.

Solid cast brass, small enough to rest in a palm: made for a home shrine, a desk, or a travel puja kit. Every necklace strand and bangle is picked out in the metal.

• Material: solid cast brass
• Finish: antique gold
• Care: wipe with a dry soft cloth; polish with tamarind or lemon when it darkens
