This is a framed idol of Goddess Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, prosperity, and fortune. The idol is crafted from silver or silver-toned metal, with gold-toned accents highlighting her jewelry and other details. Goddess Lakshmi is depicted seated on a lotus flower, holding lotuses in her hands and with her palms turned outwards in a gesture of blessing (abhaya mudra) and bestowing wealth. The idol is set against a dark green, possibly velvet, backing with a thin gold or yellow border, within a rectangular frame. The frame itself is a reddish-brown wood with a double border. This framed object appears to be a devotional piece, intended for display and worship.
