Description
Original design hand carved wooden SRI GANESH Mask, Katmandu, Nepal, 30 in.= 75 cm; This is a great Mask for it's unique and distinctive carving. It is a wonderful 'one of a kind' rendition of SRI GANESH. Ganesh, the Elephant Head Deity is the most loved deity of the Hindu Pantheon of Gods. He is the son of Shiva, the head guy. I am particularly fond of him because he is considered the 'protector of travelers' and I travel often. He is also known as the student 'God of wisdom' and the 'bringer of good husbands'. Lastly, he is renowned as the 'remover of obstacles'. His belly is round as he enjoys the good things in life. He is happy-go-lucky and easy to approach as Deities go. This beautiful handcrafted Wooden Mask comes from skilled craftsmen in Nepal. In Nepal, Ganesh is very popular among both Hindus & Buddhist, so you fine many Ganesh images there. Age is unknown. It comes from Himalayan Mask Center on Jochen Tole in the old Durbar (Palace) Square district of Kathmandu. My friend Prakash told me that he travels to villages in the Himalayas between Kathmandu and Tibet to find these masks. Size is quite big measuring 30" tall x 10" wide x 4" deep Weight: 1600 g = 3 lb. 10 oz.
