19th century Rajasthan Rare Votive Miniature Silver Figure of Ganesha

About the Item

Rare Votive Miniature Silver Figure of Ganesha Rajasthan, 19th–Early 20th Century Dimensions: 5 × 3.7 × 2.7 cm Weight: 23.8 grams Material: Solid silver Provenance: Rajasthan, India This rare and finely cast votive figure of Ganesha is a striking example of devotional art from 19th-century Rajasthan. Sculpted in solid silver, the figure portrays Ganesha—the beloved remover of obstacles and patron of wisdom and beginnings—with a calm, auspicious presence that belies its small scale. Such miniature icons were traditionally placed on private altars or carried as protective talismans, making them deeply personal expressions of faith. Today, figures of this quality and age have become increasingly scarce. A beautifully detailed and spiritually resonant piece of regional silverwork.
