The figures of deities are hardly ever used in mere ornament, but have some auspicious or protective idea associated. The conventional representation of the goddess Śrī (Lakshmī) bathing, seated upon a lotus, and with two elephants pouring water over her is occasionally met with (Pl. IX., 1); it is a thoroughly Hindu form.
