Description

AN UNUSUAL BRONZE FIGURE OF GANESHA, NEPAL, 18TH – 19TH CENTURY

Finely cast, seated in royal ease upon an oval lotus pedestal, legs flexed, with a serpent emerging from between them. The elephant-headed deity is clad in a short sampot, elegantly draped over his ample belly. His principal right hand holds a ladoo, which he reaches for with his curling trunk, while his left hand grasps a fragment of his broken tusk. The secondary hands lift a stylized axe (parashu) and a noose (pasha). His animal face is defined by subtly modeled eyes, flaring ears, and hair arranged in a conical chignon, surmounted by a headdress.

Weight: 324 g
Dimensions: Height 9.5 cm

Provenance: From the private collection of John Jessen Hansen, Denmark.
Condition: Very good condition with expected old wear, casting irregularities, dents, nicks, possible losses, and remnants of gilt. A fine, naturally grown patina.

Nepalese depictions of Dancing Ganesha differ from those found in India. Nepalese depictions also do not dwell on the spectacle of how Ganesha frolics despite his huge belly, instead giving him a slightly smaller potbelly and a more athletic overall physique.
