About this piece
A brass statue of Ganesha shown at rest, reclining on a low platform with carved edges. The body has red colouring and the platform a blue-grey patina, set against gold brass.
It is 29 cm (11.5 inch) wide, 18 cm tall and weighs 3.58 kg, so it is a long, low piece rather than a tall one. It suits a shelf or a table where it can be viewed from the front.
How it is used
Ganesha is worshipped at the start of many puja and is kept in homes on altars, shelves and near entrances. A reclining figure like this is often chosen for a table or shelf as a decorative piece.
Looking after it
