Seated in a sukhasana pose his enormous belly almost touching the ground, he plays the tanpura. Ganesha wears a short conical crown, with frills hanging on his protruding forehead. His right tusk is broken, the pointed part he used to write the epic Mahabharata with. The task sharply turns towards the left, more so as not to interfere with the instrument lying obliquely across his body. His right hand slides on the strings of the tanpura, whose gourd is supported on his right thigh. Ganesha holds the neck with his left hand as it tugs at the strings. The left arm itself is supported on the raised thigh. Ganesha wears numerous necklaces, bracelets, anklets etc. His yajnopavita and udarband, the sacred thread running across the shoulder and the stomach band respectively, cross each other at the stomach.
In this brass sculpture, there is simplicity in composition and finesse in casting. No unnecessary ornamentation is employed it looks astounding as it is.
