This is a striking bronze Ganesha statue with a beautiful green verdigris patina. Ganesha is universally loved as the Hindu remover of obstacles and the bringer of good luck, making this a wonderful, positive piece to have in any home or collection.
What makes this particular statue so special is its distinct Southeast Asian style. While Ganesha originated in India, his worship spread over a thousand years ago, heavily influencing the great empires of Cambodia and Indonesia. The tall, cone-shaped tiered crown he wears is a classic feature of Khmer and Javanese art. His broader facial features, the stylized jewelry bands across his chest, and the way his trunk sweeps down to taste a sweet treat are all text-book characteristics of Indonesian Medang or Cambodian Angkor-era bronze work.
He is beautifully depicted with four arms, holding a battle axe to cut away life's obstacles and a sacred loop or rosary symbolizing spiritual discipline. He sits in a peaceful, meditative pose on a double-tiered lotus base, which rests on a hexagonal platform.
