Construct shaped coloured glass pieces with fine convex solder seams and slightly fuller joined intersections; each seam joins actual pieces, not a drawn outline, with no photographic underlay, as a stained-glass window. Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, seated serenely on a large open pink lotus in a pond: a calm four-armed goddess in a red and gold sari and a crown, two hands holding lotus buds and two hands letting a stream of gold coins fall in blessing, two white elephants on either side raising their trunks to pour water over her, lotus pads and blossoms around, in a tall frame.
Light: the whole panel glows as backlit glass, the goddess and her golden halo in warm amber, gold and ruby glass, the elephants in pearl and pale grey, the pond in layered teal and jade, the pink lotus petals in rose and magenta glass with thin dark solder seams; palette of ruby, gold, rose, pearl, jade and teal; luminous, auspicious, jewel-toned.
Tall 9:16 portrait frame, composed vertically with the figure rising through the height of the frame. A serene, devotional and respectful depiction following established Hindu iconography, fully clothed and dignified, never comic; no readable script, mantra, letters or logos anywhere.
