Description
Standing Dewi Sri made of riverstone, "Turning of the Wheel", in various sizes, natural finish. Dewi Sri is considered to be an important fertility goddess especially on Bali and Java. She regulates all life, directs above all in her function as the goddess of the moon the flourishing of the food that grows on the earth and determines the death that makes plants, animals and humans return to her bosom. Thus she also commands over the underworld and the other world. Above all, however, she provides food for the people and thus ensures their survival. Since rice is the main food of this region, Dewi Sri is above all the venerated rice goddess. She is portrayed as a goddess of unusual beauty. She is always portrayed as youthful, supple and slender. Here the hand posture of the goddess symbolizes the "turning of the wheel", this hand posture is called: setting the wheel of the teaching in motion (Dharmachakra mudra). It was made of river stone, a stone similar to granite. This stone is harder than the basanite stone we are used to and can therefore be worked more precisely and in greater detail. Only a few artists have the skills to work this stone into a highlight.
