Handmade/Crafted Wooden Ganesha, the son of Shiva and Parvati, is the God governing the life-force and the earth-mother. Ganesha is a widely worshiped Hindu deity, and often revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences, and the Deva of intellect and wisdom. Ganesha`s trunk symbolizes the fact that a wise person has both immense strength, and fine discrimination. This wooden, wonderfully crafted mask is hand-made and hand-painted in Nepal. It measures 9 inches high, 5 inches wide and 2 1/2 inches deep. It easily hangs on the wall using a single nail or screw via the attached hangar on the back. A wonderful and colorful addition to any room, and a great housewarming gift for both friends and family.
