Ganesha Seated on a Lion Throne
This chubby Ganesha wears a necklace of bells—typically worn by children in India—while using his trunk to reach for a bowl of sweetmeats. He holds his broken tusk as if it were a cornucopia, reflecting his role as a bringer of abundance. He sits in royal ease on a throne flanked by a pair of lions that make direct reference to the vehicle (vahana) of his mother, the goddess Durga.
