Object description

Bilden föreställer en sittande Ganesha. Den är tillverkad i marmor och målad (färglagd). I sin övre högra hand håller han en boskapskrok (ankusha) och i den övre vänstra en yxa (parashu). I den nedre högra handen håller han ett radband (akra-mala), och i den vänstra en sötsak. Sistnämnda hand ligger i knät. En svart orm är målad på hans kulmage förmodligen för att symbolisera en helig tråd (sarpa-upavita). Denna moderna bild är antagligen tillverkad i Varanasi.

Enligt uppgift från TK Biswas.

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.
