Object description

Liten statyett föreställande en fyrhänt, sittande Ganesha. Guden är känd som Vighneshvara ("hindrens gud") eller Vighnavinashana ("undanröjare av problem"). I sin övre högra hand håller han en trishula (treudd) och i den övre vänstra en parashu (yxa). I sin lägre högra hand håller han en sötsak och i den vänstra vilar gudens snabel. Ganeshas två öron står rakt ut.

Det faktum att snabeln inte inte är riktad mot sötsaken utan istället vilar i den tomma handen är något ovanligt. Det talar också mot föreskrifterna i "texten". (?)

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
