A magnificent and exceptionally rare early 1930 bronze Ganesha, portrayed in the exuberant Nrtya (dancing) form—a joyful expression of divine energy, movement, wisdom, prosperity, and new beginnings.

Standing an impressive 24 inches tall and weighing 28.5 pounds, this commanding sculpture is distinguished by its graceful dynamism, finely rendered traditional ornamentation, multiple symbolic attributes, and beautifully aged natural patina. The rich surface bears the character and depth of generations, reflecting the artistry of traditional South Indian metalwork.

Truly one of a kind, this remarkable Ganesha has been cherished within the donor’s family for more than 45 years, preserving not only an extraordinary work of art but also a deeply personal legacy of heritage and devotion.

Now generously offered in support of SACSS, this exceptional sculpture presents a rare opportunity to acquire a  spiritually significant piece of South Indian art—one that embodies craftsmanship, history, cultural heritage, and timeless beauty.
