Arch-Form Dabu Featuring Seated Lakshmi with Repeating Shrine Links

This dabu is constructed using a sequence of shrine-shaped panels, each carved in relief with a seated Lakshmi figure positioned on a lotus base, while the central panel is enlarged to anchor the composition. Elephant motifs flank the Lakshmi figure within the main shrine, and scroll carving fills the surrounding borders to maintain continuity across linked segments. The lower edge of each panel is finished with evenly spaced pearl drops suspended from carved connectors, creating a consistent rhythm defined by Lakshmi iconography, elephant detailing, panel linkage, and a uniform hanging finish.
