A BRONZE FIGURE OF GANESHA, SOUTH INDIA, LATER CHOLA PERIOD, 12TH-13TH CENTURYIndia, Tamil Nadu. Finely cast seated in lalitasana over a compressed circular base raised over a tiered plinth incised with geometric bands and lappet leaves, holding an ankusha, broken tusk, and pile of sweets in his hands, dressed in a short, striated dhoti, secured by a naga-head belt, and adorned with jewelry. The face flanked by his fan-form ears issuing pendant earrings, surmounted by a conical headdress and backed by a shirashchakra.Provenance: Collection of Fran?oise Leroy-Laveissière, who was an expert for Asian Art at the Cabinet Beurdeley & Leroy-Laveissière at Drouot, Paris, in the 1970s. Thence by descent in the family.Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and casting irregularities. Small losses, encrustations, and traces of weathering, all commensurate with age. The bronze with a naturally grown lustrous patina peering through the vibrant malachite encrustations.Weight: 266.3 gDimensions: Height 9.5 cmGanesha, the beloved elephant-headed god of prosperity and remover of obstacles, is worshiped throughout India at the beginning of journeys or undertaking of new endeavors. As such, he is often placed at thresholds or entries in private homes, and he is the first deity encountered even in massive, multi-sanctum temple complexes, where he is worshiped with offerings of sweets, fruits, coins, flowers, and freshly cut grass. He is a symbol of abundance, and he is also a paragon of wisdom, having broken off his own tusk and recorded the Mahabharata at the time of its recitation by the great sage Vyasa. Although he is the son of Shiva and Parvati, Ganesha is honored by all devotees and is the most popular god in modern India.Literature comparison:Compare a related bronze figure of Ganesha, dated to the 13th century, in the Salar Jung Museum, Hyderabad.
