Ganesha is one of the best known deities in Hinduism worshiped as the Remover of Obstacles, and more generally as Lord of beginnings and the Lord of obstacles, patron of arts and sciences, and the god of intellect and wisdom. This particular statue is quite detailed in the elephant head and the headpiece. Cold cast in a stone based polyresin composite, he measures 8 inches tall and is finished in a stately bronze metallic color.
