19th c. Rare Votive Miniature Silver Figure of Ganesha

About the Item

Rare Votive Miniature Silver Figure of Ganesha Rajasthan, India – 19th Century Dimensions: 3.8 × 3.2 × 2.2 cm Weight: 15.5 grams Material: Solid silver Provenance: Rajasthan, 19th century This rare votive miniature figure of Ganesha, finely cast in solid silver, is a remarkable example of 19th-century devotional art from Rajasthan. Despite its small scale, the figure is rendered with impressive clarity and reverence, capturing the benevolent and powerful presence of Ganesha—remover of obstacles, patron of intellect and new beginnings. Such miniature icons were used in personal shrines or carried for protection and blessings, and have become increasingly difficult to find in this condition and quality. The piece embodies both sacred meaning and refined regional craftsmanship. A precious and finely executed artifact of intimate devotion.
