Ganesh
Bengal
17th century
height: 6.3 cm
This wonderful, 17th century, lost-wax-cast bronze figure of Ganesh shows the deity with two
arms, one feeding sweets to his trunk, the other holding an attribute. Ganesh's vahana (mount),
a rat, is at his left knee.
The patina is well-developed, untouched and variegated. The casting is solid. An old museum or
collection tag affixed to the bottom that indicates: "LORD GANESHA BENGAL XVll CENT".
A loop is cast to the back of the piece to allow the insertion of a flower or perhaps a small figure
to enhance the piece.
Inventory no.: 150
