Product Description
Ganesha wood carving from India. Hindu deity widely propitiated throughout India and Southeast Asia as the "Destroyer of Obstacles". He is also the patron of arts and sciences and the god of intellect and wisdom. His large ears encourage followers to listen more, his small mouth to talk less. His large stomach indicates that he has no trouble digesting all that the Universe has to offer. His small eyes help him to concentrate while his large head lets him "think big". With one tusk he has overcome all forms of dualism. His vehicle is the mouse, voracious in nature. Riding atop the mouse, Ganesha is the master - not the slave - of desire - indicating the power that the intellect and the discriminative faculties have over the mind.
