    Candles dedicated to the throat chakra - resonating with the color blue. They contain sodalite - a natural stone that promotes better communication, courage in expressing one's own opinion, and greater creativity. For me, a big plus is that the candle is made from natural soy wax, and thanks to the…

    Retro

    I like these lamps, they're fairly priced and don't appear to be in the daytime, but in the evening they come to life, with a lovely warm retro look and feeling.I would have preferred them to come with a switch set to their lowest light setting, or the gradient of brightness to start at its highest…

    Will adjust to most wrist widths.

    This bracelet is made with a waxed cord, which is not just durable, but will withstand being in the washing up water or the shower if you forget to take it off. It adjusts easily, & stays at the chosen width really well. The Tourmaline beads are beautiful, well polished, & great quality. I love the…

    Good quality and value.

    Cute as a button! I bought this one because my old one stopped working after being dropped. Since getting the new one, the old one is working again; must have been a good influence.

    Very cute and works nicely

    Love these. I took them on holiday with me and they came in very handy. They are light and the little packs are small enough to fit easily in your bag. I can't say they are particularly perfumed but they do smell pleasant. My daughter loved them and keeps asking to use them. Very pleased with these.

    White sage and peppermint sage stick

    Nicely presented and well made, the sage was easy to use - though I was glad to see some brief instructions on the box too as someone trying this for the first time. It did take a little while to light and only burned for a short while but it was long enough to give the room a pleasant and relaxing…

A few things often kept alongside this piece.

About this product

Ganesha in miniature form
  • The seated figure has a calm, compact presence, with the familiar elephant head and crowned form of Ganesha.
  • The lotus base gives the piece a devotional feel, while keeping the silhouette steady and composed.
  • Its antique brass tone adds warmth rather than shine, with a softly aged look that suits quiet corners.
  • Placed near books, candles or a small altar cloth, it becomes a gentle visual pause in the room.
  • The symbolism is traditional and cultural: wisdom, prosperity and beginnings, held as meaning rather than promised result.
Brass, detail and Indian metalwork

This brass Ganesha statue is handcrafted in India, with fine detailing across the crown, seated body and lotus base. Brass has long been used for sacred and decorative objects across Indian homes and temples, valued for its warm colour, durability and the way it deepens in character with touch and time.

How to display and use it

Place it where you want a small point of focus: on a desk, bedside table, meditation shelf or home shrine. It can sit with other simple ritual objects, such as a diya, flowers or incense, or stand alone as a symbolic decorative piece.

Handle it with clean, dry hands and keep it away from prolonged damp. Wipe with a soft dry cloth when needed. Brass naturally develops a patina, which many people enjoy as part of its character.

Ganesha in context

Ganesha is one of the most recognisable deities in the Hindu tradition, often honoured at the beginning of a task, study, journey or ceremony. His elephant head is widely associated with wisdom and discernment, while his presence at thresholds gives him a special place in homes and small personal shrines. Miniature idols like this are intimate rather than imposing, made to be lived with closely: a steady symbol on a work table, a quiet companion for a daily ritual, or a thoughtful reminder before beginning something new.

Size and details

Made from brass and measuring 49 mm high, this miniature Ganesha idol weighs 52 g. It is part of the Brass Miniature Gods range.

A thoughtful symbolic gift

It suits someone who appreciates Indian craft, meaningful home décor or small ritual objects with cultural depth. It is especially fitting for a new home, a study space, a meditation corner or the beginning of a new chapter.

Common questions

Can it be used on a home altar?
Yes. It is suitable as a small devotional or symbolic figure for a home shrine, meditation shelf or quiet display space.
Will the brass stay the same colour?
Brass naturally changes over time, especially with handling and air exposure. A soft dry cloth helps keep the surface clean while allowing the antique character to develop gently.
Is each piece identical?
Because it is handcrafted, small differences in finish and detail are normal. These slight variations are part of the character of this kind of brass miniature.
