Life is all about dichotomies, choices. Sacred vs. profane, right vs. wrong, profound vs. mundane. Standing at the threshold, Ganesha is a mediator, one who guides us through the path ahead, a bridge between our past and the possibilities of the future. The lotus flower is considered to be a symbol of creation, born in water and then unfolding into a beautiful flower. This Ganesh depicts Ganesha seated on a lotus flower - representing his blessing from the start for our entire journey. The statue measures 9.5 inches high and 7.5 inches wide. Minor defects and scratches add to the artistic and handmade quality of the piece.
