Ganesha 2.5in Brass Statue

Ganesha, also spelled Ganesh, also called Ganapati, elephant-headed Hindu god of beginnings, is traditionally worshipped before any major enterprise and is the patron of intellectuals, bankers, scribes, and authors. His name means both “Lord of the People” and “Lord of the Ganas.” Ganesha is potbellied and generally depicted as holding in his hand a few round Indian sweets, of which he is inordinately fond. His vehicle is the large Indian bandicoot rat, which symbolizes Ganesha’s ability to overcome anything to get what he wants. Like a rat and like an elephant, Ganesha is a remover of obstacles.
