Vintage solid brass Hindu goddess Saraswati with 5 oil lamps on an engraved base

This is a solid brass representation of the Hindu goddess Saraswati, the goddess of art, music and learning. She usually holds a book and a stringed instrument called a veena.

She is the river of consciousness that enlivens creation; she is the dawn-goddess whose rays dispel the darkness of ignorance. Without her there is only chaos and confusion. To realize her one must go beyond the pleasures of the senses and rejoice in the serenity of the spirit.

Saraswati's vahana is a peacock or a swan. The peacock represents arrogance and pride over its beauty, and by having a peacock as her mount, the Goddess teaches Hindus not to be concerned with external appearance and to be wise regarding the eternal truth.*
