A beautifully cast Indian bronze of Naga Ganesha, depicting the beloved elephant-headed deity dancing upon a coiled Nāga (serpent deity) rising from a lotus base. This rare form, known as Nagendra Ganapati, symbolises the triumph of divine consciousness over fear and illusion — Ganesha’s dance representing joy, mastery, and awakening, while the serpent embodies kundalini energy and protection.
Dating to circa 1940, this piece was lost-wax cast in South India, likely Tamil Nadu, where devotional bronzes of this quality were produced for home shrines. The sculpture stands 24.5 cm tall, finely detailed with traditional ornamentation — Ganesha’s four arms holding ritual objects, the sinuous serpent rising beneath him, and a base adorned with stylised lotus petals. The bronze has developed a rich natural patina, giving warmth and depth to the figure.
A compelling and spiritually charged work of craftsmanship — perfect for a collector of Indian bronzes, a yoga or meditation space, or as a statement piece within a wabi-sabi or eclectic interior.
