The Wealth Bestowing Deity, also known as the Goddess of Wealth, holds a deep-rooted belief originating from ancient Indian mythology. Within Tibetan iconography, she is revered as a consort of wealth deities and is particularly favored among Tibetans as she presides over worldly riches and is associated with the Five Wealth Deities. This statue of the Wealth Bestowing Deity portrays her with a single face and two arms, a prevalent depiction in the Gannan region. Adorned with a floral crown and a towering hair bun adorned with compassionate Buddha symbols, her visage is full and serene, with a rounded chin, slightly arched eyebrows, a short nose, and full lips, exuding a tranquil demeanor reminiscent of Han Chinese stylistic influences. Her shoulders are narrow, waist cinched, and physique soft. Adorned with necklaces and chains, her attire includes a U-shaped beaded necklace and a decorative rat positioned on her left shoulder, a hallmark of the Wealth Bestowing Deity. She wears a long skirt with a waistband, draped with ceremonial scarves, and adorned with bracelets on her hands and feet. The realistic depiction of her skirt and scarves showcases flowing lines that contour elegantly around her limbs, with fabric cascading naturally over the pedestal’s edge, portraying a soft and natural drape. Seated in a relaxed posture, she holds a ripe fruit in her right hand and a vessel of wealth in her left. The lotus pedestal, in a semi-circular waist style, features large and full petals, exuding spiritual significance. Similar works can be found in the Rubin Museum of Art in New York, depicting the 16th-century Wealth Bestowing Deity. Overall, this statue represents an exceptional example of the 16th-century Labrang Monastery style, characterized by exquisite craftsmanship, large dimensions, elegant demeanor, and profound spiritual presence, making it a highly valuable piece for collectors.
