Artisan Ganesha Carving - Slate Mani Stone, Hand Carved

Hand carved Ganesha carving on light grey slate. A relief carving with beautiful etched detailing, including a little mouse. A very tactile and artistic item, make sure to run your fingers over every groove. Perfectly palm-sized at 4 by 2.5 inches. The bottom has a smooth, raw finish. Each piece is carved completely by hand, so each is a unique artisan item. All made by a young man we met in person on our travels in Nepal, who also let us take a snap of him working!

About Ganesh/Ganesha: Revered as the remover of obstacles. Patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom. He is honoured at the start of rites and ceremonies as the God of beginnings. Often pictured with a mouse that represents doubts and human vices.
