Lakshmi copper alloy Eastern India

In a dance pose with her weight on her right leg, the left leg crossed over in front, holding a large lotus with a thick stem in her right hand and a jambhira (citron) in her left, wearing long billowing scarves and various items of jewelry including two sets of circular ear ornaments, her hair in a long braid swinging to the right with the movement of her dance, the whole on a large bell-shaped hollow base.
