Description: A SUPERB AND RARE EARLY ANTIQUE MINIATURE GANESH GANESHA INDIAN HINDU ELEPHANT GOD - AN ANTIQUE BRONZE MINIATURE FIGURE - PROVENANCE - CHRISTIE'S - A WONDERFUL RARE EARLY GANESH FIGURE IN A VERY RARE SMALL SIZE!!! Ganesha, also spelled Ganesh, also called Ganapati, elephant-headed Hindu god of beginnings, who is traditionally worshipped before any major enterprise and is the patron of intellectuals, bankers, scribes, and authors. His name means both “Lord of the People” (gana means the common people) and “Lord of the Ganas” (Ganesha is the chief of the ganas, the goblin hosts of Shiva). Ganesha is potbellied and generally depicted as holding in his hand a few round Indian sweets, of which he is inordinately fond. His vehicle (vahana) is the large Indian bandicoot rat, which symbolizes Ganesha’s ability to overcome anything to get what he wants. Like a rat and like an elephant, Ganesha is a remover of obstacles. The Ganesh is beautifully done with exquisite details. It is a miniature and is 1 1/2 inches (40mm) tall. It is solid and has wonderful early patina. Treat yourself or a loved one to a treasure to cherish for generations and one which will only increase in value over time!
