The face is deeply carved, with arched brows, expressive eyes and a gently smiling mouth that give the deity a warm, approachable presence. Layers of red, blue and black pigment sit beneath worn gold leaf style, creating a softly weathered surface that speaks of age and long use, while still retaining a remarkable \u003cstrong\u003erichness\u003c\/strong\u003e of \u003cstrong\u003ecolour\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eThe direction of \u003cstrong\u003eGanesha’s\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003etrunk\u003c\/strong\u003e is especially significant in this piece.

Over centuries he came to be universally honoured as the \u003cstrong\u003eRemover of Obstacles\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLord of Beginnings\u003c\/strong\u003e, patron of the arts and sciences, and deity of intellect and wisdom.
