Ganesha, also spelled Ganesh and called Ganapati, is an elephant-headed Hindu god of beginnings, who is traditionally worshipped before any major enterprise and is the patron of intellectuals, bankers, scribes, and authors. Like a rat and like an elephant, Ganesha is a remover of obstacles. The condition of this Ganesha ornament is good, with some of the clay beading ruptured in some places.
