EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th-17th century Dancing Ganesha sculpture is an enchanting example of the rich artistic heritage of South Asia. The Lord of Obstacles, also known as Vinayaka or Ganesha, is depicted here in a playful and joyful mood, with one hand gesturing the varada mudra, or boon-granting pose, while the other hand is raised in the abhaya mudra, a protective gesture. The deity's body is that of an elephant-headed god, with four arms and a large, curved trunk. This copper alloy figurine, possibly from India or Southeast Asia, showcases intricate detailing and beautiful coloration, with red and green pigments adorning the god's body. The Dancing Ganesha sculpture is a beloved figure in Hinduism, revered for his ability to remove obstacles and bring good fortune. This rare and captivating artifact is now a cherished addition to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistic and cultural significance of this iconic deity from the past.
