A COPPER ALLOY FIGURE OF GANESHA
TAMIL NADU, NAYAK PERIOD, 17TH/18TH CENTURY3 3/4 in. (9.5 cm) high
注脚
Seated Ganesha appears to have somewhat outgrown the lotus throne he teeters on. One considers the prospects for the diminutive rat joining him at the foot of the base to effectively carry his master. In any case, the elephant-headed god is known as the "Remover of Obstacles" and extends his trunk to sample more of the sweet ladoo he so loves.Compare stylistically with other small votive bronzes of Ganesha from the Nayak period in the Victoria & Albert Museum (IM.76-1914) and sold at Christie's, Paris, 12 June 2012, lot 314, and Bonhams, New York, 20 March 2018, lot 3225.Provenance Private Newport Beach Collection, acquired 1962Private West Coast Collection since 2008
