Ganesha is the elephant headed son of Shiva. He holds his sutra and sweetmeats along with a noose and broken tooth in his 6 hands. One hand is held in a gesture of protection.
The noose represents the power to capture and control negative or wayward thoughts and desires, while the goad symbolizes the ability to steer one's life in the right direction, much like a mahout directs an elephant.
Ganesha is often found playing a musical instrument. Similar to Krishna Ganesha celebrates life through it's pleasures and beauty. The direction of Ganesha's trunk has symbolic meaning. Here the trunk turns to Ganesha's right. This represents Moksha or enlightenment. The perfect direction for those seeking or following a spiritual path.
In his early forms in India, Ganesha was associated with fertility. Later he became widely revered as the Remover of Obstacles and more generally as Lord of Beginnings and Lord of Obstacles, patron of arts and sciences and the deity of intellect and wisdom. One of the most recognizable of the Asian deities this representation of Ganesha is sure to enlighten your home with endlessly timeless style.
