Brass Ganesha Sculpture with Umbrella and Mouse – Handcrafted Dhokra Art | Traditional Indian Tribal Folk Metalwork
This exquisite brass sculpture brings the revered figure of Lord Ganesha, one of Hinduism's most beloved deities, to life with a unique tribal and folk-inspired twist. Meticulously handcrafted using the ancient Dhokra metal-casting technique, this piece radiates an earthy, rustic charm that’s characteristic of traditional Indian art.
The figure features an anthropomorphic form with an elephant-like face, instantly recognizable as Ganesha, the god of wisdom, prosperity, and success. Rich in symbolism, this sculpture showcases Ganesha holding a cane in one hand, while his other hand rests on his loyal vahana, a mouse, symbolizing humility and modesty. The addition of a small umbrella over his head enhances the deity’s majesty, highlighting his status and lending the piece a touch of royalty and protection.
Each detail, from the stylized attire and elaborate ornaments to the intricate patterns etched into the metal, speaks to the artist's dedication to preserving India's cultural heritage. The textured, raw finish is achieved through Dhokra, a time-honored metalworking technique that dates back over 4,000 years. This art form is celebrated for its distinctive rustic look, giving each piece a one-of-a-kind appearance.
Perfect as a centerpiece, spiritual décor, or an artistic statement in any room, this brass Ganesha sculpture is not only a tribute to divine grace but also a beautiful representation of traditional Indian craftsmanship. Its cultural and aesthetic appeal makes it an ideal gift for art enthusiasts, spiritual seekers, or anyone looking to add a touch of timeless Indian heritage to their home.
