A Ganesha sculpture made from superior jasper stone. The brilliant red hue of the pure form of the stone comes from dense iron inclusions. The piece of jasper used to carve this seated Ganesha features both gradient and texture as well as the solemn beauty of monotone.
The level of detail introduced into this compact Ganesha murti is atypical of His traditional iconography. Limbs in lalitasana, the chubby belly, chaturbhujadhari; overall, the stance of a child, conveying the twin qualities of innocence and wisdom.
Yet, there is gravity in the eyes of the elephant-headed Lord. A turban upon His head, as opposed to the princely crown. The background is composed of layered impression of stone, each section carved roughly in the style of a seashell.
