An antique Khmer style bronze Lakshmi, devi or Goddess sculpture.
Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, fortune, and prosperity, holds a significant place not only in India but also in the cultural and historical landscape of Cambodia. Her influence is evident in the art, architecture, and religious practices of the Khmer Empire, particularly during its zenith from the 9th to the 15th centuries.
Lakshmi is the Hindu goddess of wealth, prosperity (both material and spiritual), light, wisdom, fortune, fertility, generosity and courage. The embodiment of beauty, grace and charm. Also called Mahalakshmi, she is said to bring good luck, and is believed to protect her devotees from all kinds of misery and money-related sorrows.
Lakshmi's importance in Cambodia is a testament to the deep cultural and historical connections between India and Southeast Asia. Her presence in Khmer art, architecture, and society underscores the significant impact of Hinduism on the region.
Despite the passage of time and the predominance of Buddhism, the legacy of Lakshmi endures, reflecting the enduring human aspirations for wealth, prosperity, and well-being.
Through the lens of Lakshmi, we can appreciate the rich tapestry of Cambodian history and culture, where ancient traditions continue to influence and inspire contemporary life.
The Lakshmi is mounted on a bronze base which forms part of the sculpture. The malachite patina and details of this piece are particularly appealing.
