Brass Three Headed Ganesha Sculpture�with Patina

The Three Heads of Trimukha Ganesh, or Three Faced Ganesh, Depict the Three States of Being Inherent in Any Manifestation, Which are Named the Guna. In His 6 Hands He Holds, 2 Small Lotus Flowers, An Elephant Goad, a Pasam or Noose His Tusk and a Mango. a Pasam is a Triple Twine Weapon. Each of the Three Twines Represents, Arrogance and Conceit, Maya - the Illusory Nature of the Real World, Ignorance. In Hindu Ideology Weapons are a Viewed as Symbolic Tools to Destroy the Ego Rather Than to Cause Any Type of Bloodshed. Goads (Or Elephant Prods) are Typically Used to Direct Elephants. Goads are Symbolic of How One Should Steer the Soul Away From the Ignorance and Illusions of This Earthly World Just as a Mahout Would Steer An Elephant Away From Any Treacherous Path. There is a Beautiful Lotus Carving on Ganesha'S Trunk. Ganesh is Seated Upon a Blooming Lotus Flower.
