Large Wooden Hindu Ganesha Elephant God Sculpture

Updated August 23, 2026

Impressive hand-carved wooden sculpture depicting Ganesha, the revered elephant-headed deity, presented here in a rare three-faced form symbolizing wisdom, protection, and divine power. Richly detailed throughout, the figure displays intricate carving across the headdress, jewelry, and garments, with multiple arms holding symbolic objects. As often seen in older devotional carvings, some attributes once held in the hands are now missing, leaving two hands empty. A visible crack is present to the upper left hand, along with general age-related wear throughout, all consistent with use and handling over time. Despite this, the sculpture retains strong visual presence and remains in overall good condition. A striking and substantial piece well suited for collectors of Hindu art, spiritual objects, or decorative carvings. Size: 36" tall. Please Note: In-House Shipping is available but shipping charges will be higher because of size and weight.
