An adored and revered God of the Hindus, Ganesha is known as the master of intellect and promoter of education. He is believed to have written the Mahabharata for the sage Ved Vyasa. A legendary scribe, a protector and a remover of obstacles, Ganesha plays varied and important roles in the lives of his followers. This beautifully designed brass statue, about 10 inches tall, with an intricate pattern on the frame, shows Ganesha seated on a swing. His vehicle, the mouse, is shown at his feet. Fine quality, excellent workmanship and attention to detail shown by the creator make it an irresistible buy.
