    WTF does she care? i she supposed to be someone specific? I say its a "LADY WITH A BAG"

    Anyway, seems like an indian (from india, not american indian) statue, might be a goddess of some sort, but those guys have thousands, so GL with it. Search for Buddhism and hinduism gods in wiki

    found this for example:



    On second thought tho, the style seems not hindu or asian... not greko-roman, not Egyptian...Maybe goth, but the bronze colour does not fit...

    Does a statue of a woman actually have to represent someone, couldn't it just be a woman holding a pot and nothing more?

    Lakshmi - the goddess of prosperity, wealth, purity, generosity, and the embodiment of beauty, grace and charm.

    Although she is normally depicted with 4 arms!

    Renenet was the Egyptian goddess of wealth.
    Saturn rules wealth in the Roman Pantheon.
    The Great Mother Goddess of all cultures were always called upon to increase wealth and fortune, so Hera, Isis, Ishtar, Inanna, Kali, Danu would all be considered goddess of fortune.

    He was ruler of the Titans to the Greeks, but the Romans also worshipped him, either as the God of wealth or the god of agriculture, justice and strength.
