South Indian Hand Carved Wood Ganesh Statue

Lord Ganesha is considered a patron of the arts, and the God of wisdom and intellect. He is the legendary scribe who wrote the epic Mahabharata as the sage Ved Vyasa dictated it. Ganesha broke off one tusk and proceeded to use it as a pen, until the transcription came to an end. In this handcarved wooden Ganesh staue, the pastel tones combined with raw paint finish gives it an appearance of an antique. Ganesha is depicted holding his broken tusk in his lower right hand, signifying sacrifice and commitment. Made in Southern India by talented artisans, the Ganesh statue measures 10 inches high and 5.5 inches wide. With a flat back, the Ganesh statue is 2.5 inches deep. Due to the handmade nature of the product minor scratches and defects are common and add to the artistic appeal of the statue.
