Product description
Physical Dimensions & Status Height: 85 cm | Width: 46 cm | Weight: 41 kg (Fire-Gilded Bronze) Unique object — permanently unavailable once sold. This monumental Ganesha temple statue represents the absolute pinnacle of traditional South Asian bronze art. With a height of 85 cm, a weight of 41 kilograms, and a fully fire-gilded bronze surface, this statue exemplifies an exceptional level of craftsmanship, iconography, and technical quality. Ganesha is depicted in the royal Lalitasana pose, surrounded by refined engravings, tantric symbolism, and a richly elaborated lotus base. The combination of proven fire-gilding, complete hand-finishing, and monumental dimensions makes this a museum-worthy object. ✓ Monumental execution: 85 cm high and a substantial 41 kg heavy. ✓ Proven Fire-Gilding: Microscopic examination confirms authentic fire-gilding with original gold residues. ✓ Fully Handmade: All ornaments, engravings, and decorations are individually hand-finished. ✓ Ritual Temple Statue: Fully elaborated all around, including the back and lotus base. ✓ Tantric Iconography: Ganesha in Lalitasana with Trishula, geometric symbolism, and his vahana. ✓ Includes: Official Certificate of Authenticity from 1stbuddha. Ganesha – Remover of Obstacles Ganesha is among the most beloved deities in Hinduism. He is revered as the protector of new ventures, bestower of wisdom, and remover of obstacles. His presence symbolizes prosperity, intellect, happiness, and spiritual growth. Lalitasana: The relaxed royal posture symbolizes mastery, balance, and divine authority. Trishula: The trident on the forehead refers to Shiva and the triumph over ignorance. Rat (Vahana): His mount symbolizes overcoming even the smallest obstacles. Lotus and Kalasha Symbolism: The richly elaborated base refers to purity, abundance, and spiritual fertility. Forensic Analysis & Material Examination The statue has been technically examined for material, finish, and construction. The research results show characteristics consistent with traditionally manufactured fire-gilded bronze. Authentic Fire-Gilding: In protected areas, clear remnants of the original gold layer are visible under magnification, with natural wear on the prominent parts. Bronze Alloy: The deep green and dark oxidation confirm a copper-containing alloy and rule out modern brass construction. Complete Hand-Finishing: Star, floral, and geometric motifs are individually engraved, even in hard-to-reach areas. Finished All Around: The back and the entire pedestal are as carefully elaborated as the front, befitting a ritual temple statue. Deep Historical Patina: The natural oxidation is fully integrated into the surface and supports the traditional manufacturing. Specifications Object: Monumental Ganesha Temple Statue Depiction: Ganesha in Lalitasana Material: Fire-Gilded Bronze Technique: Traditionally cast and entirely hand-finished Height: 85 cm Width: 46 cm Weight: 41 kg Symbolism: Wisdom, prosperity, protection, and the removal of obstacles Condition: Excellent historical condition with authentic wear of the fire-gilding, deep natural patina, and fully intact sculptural detailing.
