Ganesha Brass Miniature Figure, Small, 4cm

Product Overview

Ganesha, seated on a lotus base, cast in brass at about 4cm tall. Every curve of the trunk and belly is picked out in the casting, and the golden tone differs a little from one figure to the next. At 24g it slips easily into a pocket, a car console tray or a gift bag, so it suits a travel shrine or a first desk.

The Story Behind the Design

In Hindu tradition Ganesha, the elephant-headed son of Shiva and Parvati, is known as the remover of obstacles and the lord of beginnings. Prayers to him traditionally open ceremonies, journeys and new ventures, which is why his image so often appears at doorways, on desks and at the start of weddings.
