작품 상세

Dimensions: Height 5,1 cm Wide 3,5 cm Depth 3 cm Weight: 89 grams A small bronze figure depicting Ganesha seated frontally on a low, stepped base. The elephant-headed deity is shown with a prominent rounded belly, his trunk descending centrally and curving gently to one side. The compact proportions and simplified modeling emphasize volume over surface detail. The arms are bent and raised toward the chest, with the hands positioned close to the body; individual attributes are no longer clearly defined. The legs are folded symmetrically, creating a stable, grounded posture. The facial features are softly rendered, with worn details consistent with age and handling. The surface displays a dark brown patina with areas of abrasion and accretion, revealing lighter metal beneath, particularly on the trunk, belly, and extremities. The reverse is plainly modeled, with minimal detailing, reinforcing the sculptural solidity of the figure. Overall, the sculpture conveys a compact, devotional character, typical of small-scale Ganesha bronzes from late medieval India, intended for personal worship or portable shrine use.
