An antique solid brass idol of Lord Ganesha, the Hindu/Indian or Himalayan deity of wisdom, prosperity, and the remover of obstacles. It is cast in a traditional four-armed posture, sitting atop a stylized double-lotus pedestal base. An antique brass statue represents Ganapati (Ganesha) as a powerful wealth deity and dharmapala (protector) integrated into Vajrayana Buddhist and Newar artistic traditions. The Himalayan Aesthetics: The statue exhibits distinct Nepalese and Tibetan metal casting influences. The tall, highly stylized tiered crown (Mukut) seamlessly tapering into a compact circular halo (Prabhavali) is typical of Himalayan icons rather than South Indian formats.The Vajrayana Garments: A prominent feature is the fluid, wind-blown ceremonial scarf (Uttariya) draped elegantly across his torso and looping outwards from his arms. This dynamic drapery mimics the active, celestial energy of Himalayan deities.The Sacred Base: He sits on a traditional double-lotus throne (Vishvapadma). The sharp, geometric carving of the layered petals represents the untainted, pure spiritual space from which the deity manifests to remove material and spiritual obstacles. In the Tibetan Ka'gyur tradition, Ganesha is not just a worldly god but is often viewed as a protective emanation of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. 这尊黄铜神像展现了作为资粮, 财神与佛教护法神(Dharmapala)的“象头财神”(Ganapati)。该造型深度融合了藏传佛教金刚乘与尼泊尔纽瓦尔人的传统金属铸造工艺。喜马拉雅艺术风格: 该神像具有鲜明的尼泊尔和西藏造像特征。其高耸、精雕细琢的叠层神冠(Mukut)与脑后紧凑的圆形背光神轮(Prabhavali)融为一体,这种尖锐挺拔的几何造型明显不同于印度南方的传统饱满风格。密宗天衣与绸带: 象神躯干上斜披并从双臂两侧向外飘扬的飞天仙带(Uttariya)是其一大视觉亮点。这种具有动感、如被风吹拂的绸带纹理,完美契合了喜马拉雅神祇特有的神圣与空灵之美。神圣的莲花法座: 他安坐在传统的双层莲花座(Vishvapadma,即双瓣莲台)之上。莲花瓣层次分明、线条凌厉,象征着神祇从清净无染的佛国世界中显现,用以斩断众生在世俗和修行道路上的一切魔障与资财匮乏。 हमलय सदरयशसतर: इस मरत पर नपल और तबबत क धत ढलई कल क सपषट परभव ह। इसक लब, अतयधक अलकत मकट ज पछ एक छट गलकर आभमडल (परभवल) स जड ह, परपरक दकषण भरतय शलय क तलन म अधक जयमतय और नकल ह।वजरयन वसतर वनयस: मरत क एक मखय वशषत उनक धड पर लपट हआ और भजओ स बहर क ओर लहरत हआ दवय दपटट (उततरय) ह। यह गतशल कपड हमलय दव-दवतओ क दवय और सकरय ऊरज क दरशत ह।पवतर कमल आसन: वह एक परपरक दहर कमल क आसन (वशवपदम) पर वरजमन ह। इसक परत वल कमल क पखडय क तख नककश उस शदध आधयतमक सथन क परतक ह, जह स भगवन ससरक और आधयतमक बधओ क दर करन क लए परकट हत ह। Pickup category timeslot {A}
