Ganesh, also called Ganapati, the elephant headed God of Wisdom and Success is the defender and remover of obstacles and has to be propritiated first before worshiping other Gods. He is one of the sons of Siva and Parvati and is the bestower of success in work and artistic endeveor. His mount or standard is a rat, a symbol in Hindu fable of the trickery of this world. So it is natural that the rat should first be conquered, then subdued and employed by any being who represents spiritual strenght. 12.5" high.
