Antique Indo-Himalayan Elephant-Headed Deity with Four Arms, 15th-17th Century or Earlier

Item Details

Description

This piece is a profound representation of Indo-Himalayan religious art, depicting an anthropomorphic deity with an elephant head and four hands. Dating from the 15th to 17th century or earlier, the figure is 4 cm in height and 3.5 cm in width (approximately 1.57 inches by 1.38 inches), crafted from bronze with a distinctive excavation patina indicative of its age. This deity, likely a representation of Ganesha who is revered as the remover of obstacles and the god of beginnings, is traditionally worshipped in both the Hindu and Buddhist traditions. The artifact's small size suggests it may have been used for personal worship or as part of a household shrine. The figure's ancient patina and cultural symbolism make it a significant acquisition for collectors and enthusiasts of historical religious iconography.
