Small Ganesh statue cast in silver, with right hand up in the gesture of protection and left hand holding his favourite ladoo sweet. His other two hands hold lotus flowers, attached to his hands with silver wire.
This is a vintage piece cast in solid silver, with a weight of 16.45 grams. It is a lightweight but very finely cast miniature statue and a small facet cut blue topaz sits in his forehead to sparkle and catch the light. Even his mount sits at his feet. Approximately 50 years old, from southern India. Used for household or personal pooja.
Ganesh is the lord of wisdom, remover of obstacles, patron of the the arts and new beginnings. Keeps unwanted influences from your door.
