  • Ganesha Statue - Antique Thai Style Bronze Seated Silver Ganesha Statue - 8.5cm/3"

    Measures (Height) 8.5cm/3"

    An expressively cast antique Thai style silver seated 4-arm Ganesha. The elephant-headed god is wearing a long dhoti with crossed cloth around his portly waist. 

    The distinctive patina of the piece is particularly delightful.

    Ganesha is the elephant headed son of Shiva. He holds his noose and sweetmeats. He also holds one hand in a gesture of protection.  

    The noose represents the power to capture and control negative or wayward thoughts and desires, while the goad symbolizes the ability to steer one's life in the right direction, much like a mahout directs an elephant.

    Ganesha also holds laddus, the name for Indian sweetmeats. Whilst some may interpret this as Ganesha simply having a sweet tooth or a (relatable) penchant for candy, it is no surprise that the sweet delicacies carry further meaning. These tasty treats represent the reward for a wisely-led life and the eternal sweetness that comes from a fulfilled experience. Dentists around the world will be delighted to hear that Ganesha is never depicted actually eating the sweetmeats, but this item of the deity does also show his parallels with everyday human life. This relates to Ganesha’s status as a Vedic God, which means he does not forget even those who are not his devotees and instead looks out for everyone. This is communicated through his depiction as always looking upwards or at eye-level, as he is surveying all human life and is therefore not solely focussed on those praying to him.

    Ganesha is often found playing a musical instrument. Similar to Krishna Ganesha celebrates life through it's pleasures and beauty. The direction of Ganesha's trunk has symbolic meaning. Here the trunk turns to Ganesha's left. This signifies the direction for success in the world. It is a position associated with grihastas, or householders.

    In his early forms in India, Ganesha was associated with fertility. Later he became widely revered as the Remover of Obstacles and more generally as Lord of Beginnings and Lord of Obstacles, patron of arts and sciences and the deity of intellect and wisdom. One of the most recognizable of the Asian deities this representation of Ganesha is sure to enlighten your home with endlessly timeless style.

    Please note - This Ganesha is silver only in appearance.
