Seated Ganesha
The sculpture depicts a seated figure with an elephant head. The figure sits cross-legged on a decorative base, with its right leg resting on top of the left. The figure has large ears, a long trunk, and a tusk on the right side. It wears a crown-like object on its head. The figure's right arm is bent at the elbow and holds an object. The left arm is raised. Two smaller figures are carved on either side of the main figure. The sculpture is made of dark-colored stone and has a weathered appearance. The background of the image fades from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
