Craftsmanship
Front: Ganesha wears a jewelled crown, with a single tusk and curling trunk; his many arms hold sacred attributes and one leg is raised in dance, with a round halo behind him, all in matt silver. The surrounding frame of openwork scrolls and lotus buds is copper-gold in tone, contrasting with the silver figure. Back: two scaled mythical creatures coil through the openwork scrolls around a central spiral. The casting is fully three-dimensional and deeply layered, with light passing through the openwork. The halo ring at the top can take a cord directly.
