  • This large, brass, Thai style Ganesh is holding his broken tusk he used to write the Mahabharata epic, a bowl filled with his favorite sweets; laddus, a noose and a double trident
  • His trunk is facing to his right which is good for one on a spiritual path leading to Mohksha or a reunion with god, and he has a cobra belt wrapped around his chest and a beautifully embroidered dhoti around his legs
  • Ganesh has caring eyes wtih an OM symbol on his forehead and an arch surrounding his face
  • Seated on the beautifully decorated base is Ganesha's vahana or vehicle, the rat, Moosika. Their ability to go go anywhere and gnaw their way into any hole make them the perfect vehicle for Ganesha, "the remover of obstacles!"
This beautiful large Thai brass Ganesh statue is standing with Mooshika by his feet. He holds a noose, his broken tusk that he used to write the Mahabharata epic, a bowl filled with his favorite sweets, laddus, and a large double trident. There is a large cobra going across his chest. Both the cobra and the trident  are not symbols Ganesh usually has on his person. They are more closely associated with his father, Shiva the Hindu God of destruction. However, Ganesh usually borrows symbols and weapons from other Gods, a testament to him being loved by all people and gods alike. He wears a crown, necklaces, armlets and bracelets.  There is an OM symbol on his forehead.  Ganesha's trunk is to his right.  In this direction the trunk represents moksha (enlightenment) and is good for a devotee who is on that path.
I always say to our customers; The sculpture chooses you, you do not choose the sculpture.

"In heaven Lord Ganesh will establish the predominance of gods, on earth that of people, in the nether world that of serpents and anti-gods"
~A Hymn from Sri Bhagavat-Tathva~

The chubby, gentle, wise, elephant-headed Ganesh, or Ganesha, is one of Hinduisms most popular deities. He is the remover of obstacles, the deity whom worshippers first acknowledge when they visit a temple. He is also patron of letters and of learning; he is the legendary scribe who, using his broken tusk, which he often holds, wrote down parts of the Mahabharata epic. Ganesh is usually depicted colored red; he is pot bellied, has one tusk broken, and has four arms that may hold a pasam, a goad, and a pot of rice or sweetmeats. The sweet meats are held in a type of bowl known as a laddus. His appetite for these sweets is legendary and offerings of them are often left at his shrine.

Statues of Ganesh can be found in most Indian towns. His image is placed where new houses are to be built; he is honored at the start of a journey or business venture, and poets traditionally invoke him at the start of a book.

A pasam is a triple twine weapon. Each of the three twines represents, arrogance and conceit, Maya - the illusory nature of the real world, ignorance. In Hindu ideology weapons are a viewed as symbolic tools to destroy the ego rather than to cause any type of bloodshed. Goads (or elephant prods) are typically used to direct elephants. Goads are symbolic of how one should steer the soul away from the ignorance and illusions of this earthly world just as a mahout would steer an elephant away from any treacherous path.

Brass statues from Thailand do not need much maintenance. The best way to maintain the statue is to simply dust the piece periodically to keep any dirt from accumulating. They can be used for both indoor and outdoor use.

You can use soap, warm water and a cotton cloth to periodically go over the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup.

You can use soap, warm water and a cotton cloth to periodically go over the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup. If you are really interested in making the statue shine you can use some natural oil, like coconut oil or olive oil, and a cotton rag to wipe down the metal portions of the piece. You can use a toothbrush as well to get into the small crevices of the statue like the hands and hair.

Thai brass's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. The metal can stand up to the harshest conditions of heat and bitter cold. We suggest you bathe the sculpture every couple of months so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture and then use a cotton cloth with some natural oil to give the statue a shine.
