{"product_id":"abstract-meditating-ganesha-sculpture","title":"Antique abstract brass ganesha in meditative pose with turban","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis highly stylized and creative devotional artwork of Ganesha represents an updated version of the deity that emphasizes his role as a remover of obstacles and intellect's patron and is inspired by modern clothing styles. The work expresses devotion to Ganesha by depicting him in a meditative state while being adorned with a turban.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material used for this statue is likely bronze or brass; however, due to the distinctive coloring on the surface, it may be some type of metal that is finished differently from bronze or brass. Although heavy, the surface appears to have a yellowish-brass appearance from the natural oxidization of the metal produced by air exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStylistically, this statue is created to give the viewer an interpretation of Ganesha in an abstract and linear manner and still is able to maintain the major elements of Ganesha as represented within Hindu iconographical art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe linear body of this statue appears to represent the seated position that Ganesha is nearly always portrayed within, called \"Dhyanasana\" in Sanskrit. Many viewers of Ganesha worship may appreciate the artistic representation of Ganesha being in a meditative position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main features associated with Ganesha are still present upon this statue, including the presence of the elephant head that rests upon the linear body. The elephant head faces directly forward and has an elaborate turban or \"pagri\" placed upon his hat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape of the trunk appears to twist and curl in a downward motion at first before it curves back upward toward the chest area and appears to rest there, while Ganesha's hands rest near the low point of the belly at either side of his body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Casa Mandala ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46193559896239,"sku":"VSP-151","price":8200.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/8851\/9855\/files\/361147_Compressed.jpg?v=1762257355","url":"https:\/\/www.thecasamandala.com\/products\/abstract-meditating-ganesha-sculpture","provider":"Casa Mandala ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
