Rich in symbolism, this brass Ganesh statue measures 12 inches high and depicts Ganesha seated in front of a gate made of mice (his ride) with a parasol. The gate signifies Ganesha as a Lord of Thresholds. Standing at this threshold, Ganesha is a mediator, one who guides us through the path ahead, a bridge between our past and the possibilities of the future. Mouse, a destructive pest, a symbol of desire, which unless controlled by our higher nature, can wreak havoc. The mouse under Ganesha's control is symbolic of spiritual pursuit helping us override desires and attain self-realization: the true goal of all mankind. The parasol has been a symbol of power in India for thousands of years. This not only reinforces Ganesha's supremacy, but also is a symbol of protection from obstacles.
