DESCRIPTION

 The bronze sculpture features Lord Ganesha seated, his upper hands holding an ankusha and pasha while his lower right-hand holds a broken tusk and his lower left hand holds a sweet delicacy known as ladoo. Ganesh's trunk is curved to the left, adorned with a kalasam and a serpent around his pot belly. His seated pose and serene expression exude kindness, while his elegant ornaments and clothing add to his overall regal appearance. The removable prabhavali behind Ganesh is intricately detailed with Makara Yalis and multiple floral flame patterns, adding to the statue's magnificent allure. Handcrafted using the lost-wax technique by a skilled South Indian bronze artisan, this antique finish Ganesha statue is truly one of a kind.

ABOUT LOST WAX BRONZE SCULPTURES

The Lost Wax Process is a metal casting method where hot metal is poured into a wax model that is melted away, creating detailed sculptures. This process was traditionally used with copper, but bronze is now the preferred material for its strength. The sculptor spends weeks to months on each piece, resulting in one-of-a-kind and special sculptures with intricate details.
