Lord Vishnu-Goddess Lakshmi Pair – Vintage Folk Style Idols

This rare and visually striking pair of vintage bronze idols captures the divine presence of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi in a distinctive South Indian folk style. Each piece is handcrafted using the lost-wax casting technique, a method passed down through generations and known for preserving intricate details and individuality in every sculpture. The result is a pair of figures that are both spiritually evocative and artistically compelling.

Lord Vishnu stands in a poised yet dynamic posture, his arms extended in expressive mudras. His serene expression and harmonious proportions reflect classical iconography, while his eyes convey an unusual liveliness and divine presence. He stands firmly on a lotus-style pedestal, symbolizing his role as the sustainer and protector of the universe.

Beside him stands Goddess Lakshmi, the embodiment of abundance, wealth, and grace. She is depicted with one hand raised in blessing and the other resting gently at her side, exuding both elegance and quiet confidence. What makes this sculpture especially distinctive is the presence of her vahana (vehicle), the owl, nestled at her feet—a symbol of wisdom, foresight, and spiritual insight. The sculpture’s subtle yet assured detailing—from the graceful curve of her posture to the finely painted eyes and expressive features—reflects the artisan’s masterful skill and deep reverence for the divine form.

These figures are not only devotional icons but also culturally significant artifacts, echoing the aesthetic traditions and spiritual symbolism of Tamil Nadu and surrounding regions. Whether used in a pooja altar, displayed as collectible heritage art, or gifted as a meaningful set, this Vishnu-Lakshmi duo offers timeless beauty and devotional energy.

Please note that vintage pieces come with small imperfections, that’s a part of its beauty and age.
