Synopsis: This image shows the figure of a seated Hindu god Ganesha. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. Ganesha is facing forward so all facial features, and all arms and both legs can be found. In the top centre of the image is Ganesha's elephant head. He wears a golden crown which has a red jewel set in the middle of the front of it. His head has two large eyes with eyebrows and a large elephant ear to the left and right. He has tusks but the one to the left is broken. His elephant trunk goes down and curls up to the left. His mouth cannot be found. His body is that of a pot-bellied human with four arms. He is naked from the waist up. The lower arm on the left is bent at the elbow and the hand is palm facing with the fingers pointing up. Ganesha is giving a blessing. The upper hand to the left holds an axe. The upper hand on the right holds a lotus flower. The lower hand on the right holds a dish of sweets. He is sitting on a decorative gold seat. His leg on the right is folded so the foot rests on the leg on the left. At the bottom of the page there is a mouse near Ganesha's foot.
