Brass Ganesha figurine (2.7 x 1.6 x 1 cm)

Ganesha is depicted in a traditional, recognizable form: with an elephant's head, a long trunk, large ears, and multiple arms. The deity is depicted seated on a decorative base, and the small relief conveys the characteristic features of Indian religious sculpture.
In Hinduism, Ganesha is the son of Shiva and Parvati. He is revered as the deity of wisdom and intelligence, the patron of learning, undertakings, and new beginnings. One of the primary meanings of Ganesha is associated with overcoming obstacles on the path to goals. Therefore, in Indian tradition, he is invoked before beginning an important undertaking, studying, traveling, or a new stage in life. This meaning relates to the religious and cultural symbolism of the image.
Brass gives the figurine a warm golden hue, and darkened recesses highlight the fine details of the relief. At just 2.7 cm tall, the figurine takes up little space. It can be placed on a desk, a small shelf, a home altar, or added to a collection of Indian deities and Eastern symbols.
