Description

A FINELY CARVED WHITE MARBLE FIGURE OF GANESHA, EAST INDIA, 18TH CENTURY

The potbellied deity seated in lalitasana on a bench atop a rectangular base, his rat vahana seated by his foot, both hands resting on his lap, one holding a modak. Dressed in a dhoti with a shawl draped around the shoulders, the deity adorned with beaded foliate jewelry. The elephant head elegantly modeled with almond shaped eyes below arched brows, centered by a moon-form tilak, the trunk coiled and flanked by tusks, and large fan-form ears, the head surmounted by a tiered crown topped by a bud finial.

Provenance: From a private collection in Rome, Italy.
Condition: Wear, obvious repairs and losses, small chips, small nicks, few scratches, structural cracks. Extensive remnants of silver foil, gold paint, and pigments.

Dimensions: Height 52 cm

Ganesha, the son of Shiva and Parvati, is known as the giver of counsel and remover of obstacles for humans and deities alike. Although his elephant-headed form lends a playful quality, Ganesha's significance is profound. As overseer of the relationship between past, present, and future, Ganesha maintains balance in the universe. He is typically worshiped at the beginning of rituals. Known in India for his youthful cleverness and predilection for pranks, Ganesha is frequently depicted dancing or standing in tribhanga.

According to legend,
Ganesha took on his elephant-headed form when he was a little boy. While Shiva was out, Parvati wanted to bathe but had no one to guard the door. She fashioned a little boy with her hands and instructed him to mind the entry to the bathing area and not permit anyone inside. When Shiva returned home and found an unknown boy refusing him entry, the angered god cut off the boy’s head without asking further questions. Emerging from her bath, Parvati was dismayed to see what had transpired. She commanded Shiva to revive the son she had created by appending the head of the first being who walked by. When an elephant soon passed, Shiva removed its head and attached it to the body of the boy, thus bringing him back to life as the elephant-headed deity known as Ganesha.
