Saraswati was so beautiful that her husband Brahma had four heads so that he could see her from any direction. Handmade porcelain Saraswati sculpture.
Saraswati symbolizes learning, truth, education, culture and the arts. She tells us that knowledge is the path towards freedom. This message is further reinforced by her iconography. The four arms represent the states of the mind, while the objects she is carrying in her hands—the necklace of beads, the book and the instrument—speak of the power of meditation, learning and music. Dressed in a white sari, a symbol of her purity, she is ornamented in soft red, brown and blue tones. Covered with a subtle layer of varnish, this spectrum of colors lends the piece a sense of serenity and magnetism. The symbolism and the profound spirituality of this goddess are perfectly rendered in this new creation, crafted entirely by hand in the Lladró workshops.
Lladró is the leader in luxury porcelain since 1953 and have developed proprietary processes that resulted in a wide range of products and styles that is unparalleled in the world of porcelain. The brand still makes every piece in their workshop in Valencia, Spain.
