This little kit was found in a donation to The Friends of The Seattle Public Library. The icon appears to be Lakshmi, Hindu Goddess of wealth and prosperity. Was someone going to make a necklace out of it, or sew pieces into a tapestry? We will never know what beautiful creation someone had in mind. (Please remember to double check your books, DVDs, albums, etc. before you drop them off, to make sure you are not leaving treasures behind!)
You can learn more about Lakshmi, Hinduism, and related topics through The Seattle Public Library.
