According to some of earlier scriptures, Lion is the official vehicle of Ganesha. But in the 10th century C.E., the mouse became Ganesha's vehicle and in course of time it was deemed to be his exclusive symbol. In this statue, Ganesha is shown seated on a lion throne. This Ganesh statue represents the protective nature of Ganesha's blessings. In multi-color hues, the statue is hand-painted and measures 23 inches high and13 inches wide. Handmade, minor artistic variations and defects add to the artistic quality of the statue. Intricate detailing includes artistic Ganesh crown with iridescent accents, laddoos, lotus, goad, jewels, snake, mice, and two mermaids. A rare find and a must have for Ganesh collectors.
