£1,200.00Price

This finely cast antique Indian bronze statue of Ganesha depicts the revered Hindu deity in a dynamic dancing pose, symbolising joy, wisdom and the removal of obstacles. Ganesha, the elephant-headed god and son of Shiva and Parvati, is one of the most widely worshipped deities in Hinduism, revered as the patron of knowledge, prosperity and new beginnings. Cast in solid bronze, the sculpture reflects the influence of the historic Pala artistic tradition, a style associated with refined detailing and expressive sacred imagery originating in eastern India between the 8th and 12th centuries.
 
The figure displays the characteristic attributes of Ganesha, including the elephant head, rounded belly and graceful posture that emphasises both divine power and benevolence. Rich in symbolic meaning and craftsmanship, this piece serves as both a religious devotional figure and a decorative example of traditional Indian bronze sculpture. It would appeal to collectors of Hindu religious art, Asian antiques and bronze devotional statuary, as well as those seeking a distinctive cultural display piece for the home or collection.
 
Condition: Vintage condition with age-related wear as photographed.
 
Dimensions: 18 cm (7.1") wide x 42 cm (16.5") high
