Ganesh Reclining

This is a charming depiction in bronze of Ganesh; the elephant headed Hindu deity. Ganesh is the remover of obstacles, and can bestow good fortune. In India, traditionally no important undertaking is begun with out first invoking him to insure success.

Here Ganesh is shown relaxing in a very regal style, reading a book and leaning back against a cushion. This very fine statue has beautiful detailing, from his stylish crown to the ornaments on his feet. The book he is reading has the Sanskrit word "Om" on one page, and "Shri", also in Sanskrit script, written on the other page. This very unusual form is sure to please any Ganesh lover.
