In Hindu cosmology, the younger and ever-benevolent son of Shiva and Parvati is an enduringly holy being. He takes on the role of a protector in the Newar (Nepal) culture, watching after the lives and possessions of the believers. But instead of the typical Baal-Krishna or baby Krishna statues with Mayura pankh mukuta (crown of peacock feather), juda (hairdo), langot (short dhoti), and paayal (anklet), this brass statue from Nepal depicts baby Ganesha with the attributes, a lovely exchange of features between the two adored child-gods of Hinduism.
With his adorable face resting on his hands, Baal-Ganesha, or baby Ganesha, appears to be dozing off peacefully like a toddler. He is positioned on an ovular foundation. A lovely representation of the cultural interchange between Ganesha and Krishna as well as between India and Nepal, this brass statue is a piece of art worthy of adorning your space with its aesthetic richness.
