Overview A devotional three-piece vintage cast brass altarpiece trio representing core figures of South Asian Hindu tradition: four-armed Lord Vishnu, divine consort Goddess Lakshmi, and faithful devotee Hanuman in Anjali Mudra(prayer posture). Rendered with warm golden undertones, rich recessed oxidation, and crisp classic iconography. Integrates effortlessly into Bohemian, Eclectic, Wabi-Sabi, or sacred shrine decor as desktop accents, meditation space adornments, or curiosity cabinet display pieces.

Devotional Hanuman stands respectfully with folded hands on a lotus pedestal, representing unwavering loyalty and protection. Each figure stands on an integrated square or lotus pedestal, showcasing traditional folk casting methods.
