The once pristine appearance of the statue\u2019s golden, gilt copper finish has become patches of dark brown. Although the Buddha dates back to 1082, the crown of Vashudhara still bears its bright semi-precious stones, making this centuries old statue a true wonder. In her hands are objects which signify abundance; The highest left hand is holding a brick of gold, and the lowest, a pot of seeds or valuable stones.&nbsp;Vashudhara&#8217;s calm and inviting facial expression reflects her enlightenment as a buddha. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Resources:<\/strong><br>Vasudhara, Goddess of Abundance, Arthur M.
