An example of Ganesha, the popular Hindu deity who was depicted with a human body and an elephant -B

An example of Ganesha, the popular Hindu deity who was depicted with a human body and an elephant head, from the 1989-published book, Thai and Cambodian Sculpture from the 6th to 14th Centuries, by authors Wolfgang Felten and Martin Lerner, which was first published in 1988 in the German language. Another of the 41 sculptures from the book, which was in an unnamed private collection at the time. In the description, a similar Ganesha at The Met Museum in New York is mentioned, where the author Martin Lerner was curator, hence I've included its picture for comparison. A reminder of who Ganesha was – he’s the son of the god Shiva and his spouse, Parvati. As the remover of obstacles and protector of knowledge, the Indian epic, the Mahabharata, was scribed by him and when his pen failed, he broke off his tusk to finish the job. Usually you will find that part of his tusk in his right hand and maybe some sweets in the other hand. Why an elephant head? During a fit of rage his father cut off his head and to relieve his wife’s grief, he replaced the head with that of the first living creature he could find, an elephant.Credit By :andy.brouwer
