Ganesha is deeply associated with learning and wisdom. An interesting legend related to Ganesha highlights his role as a scribe to a great Indian sage named Ved Vyasa. Ganesha had promised the sage that he would write without stopping. Unfortunately, his feather pen broke halfway through. Bound by his promise, Ganesha broke off his tusk and continued writing. Ganesha's broken tusk is symbolic of the sacrifices that have to be made in the pursuit of knowledge. In this exquisitely crafted polyresin statue, 10 inches in height (overall 13 with the tray), you see Ganesha writing with a feather. Fine details like the bolster and the turban crowning his head add to the beauty and exclusivity of the piece. This Ganesha, a symbol of sacrifice, will make a meaningful gift for your loved ones.
