Sandstone Statuette, ‘Kind Ganesha’

ART

Wayan Kandiyasa’s passion is such that every chisel invokes the presence of Ganesha, popularly known as the God of Wisdom. It is believed that Ganesha can control the evil forces that harm the humans with disastrous consequences. Wayan Kandiyasa meticulously depicts his favorite God by detailing not just the head of the elephant in this Sandstone statuette, ‘Kind Ganesha’ sculpture, but also the human body and attire. The statue represents Ganesha as a noble person with a personality that demonstrates kindness and generosity. The palm-leaf book is held in his hand as a symbol of knowledge, along with a jug of holy water and his weapons: a trisula and a kapak. The price of $39.95 is a small price to pay for this sandstone statuette of Ganesha.
