6" solid brass Ganesh — six separate elephant-headed figures, each on its own bell-shaped pedestal, holding musical instruments (visible: stringed instrument, drum, cymbals). Hand-cast in Moradabad, the brass-craft capital of India, by artisans whose families have been working in metal for generations.

About this deity

Lord Ganesh, son of Shiva and Parvati, is the remover of obstacles and the patron of new beginnings, learning, and arts. The elephant-headed form represents wisdom; the broken tusk, sacrifice; the modak in his hand, the sweetness of devotion. Ganesh is invoked at the start of every undertaking — a wedding, a journey, a new home, a new business.

Specifications

Craft notes

The piece is finished in polished plain brass — bright, golden, and warm — with hand-engraved detailing where present. It will deepen in tone slightly with age. The piece is solid brass throughout — there is no plating, no hollow shell. Slight variations in finish, dimension, and weight are inherent to the handmade process and are part of the character of each piece.

Care & placement

A versatile piece — works in a pooja room, an entryway, or as a tabletop accent. Polish occasionally to maintain finish.
