Lord Ganapati is hailed as the chief of the celestial hosts and his various prayers recorded in Vedic texts invoke him as the Law of the laws, Seer of the seers and Principal of the principals. This tiger eye sculpture of Ganesha is an entirely unique artefact to decorate your surroundings in the beauty of its creativity and the dazzling effect it reflects on being exposed to bright light. The gorgeous trichrome appearance of gold, brown and black enhances every carved detail in its actual or a more lavish form.
The tiger eye stone found its origin from South Africa and Australia, having been named after the shifting shades of a tiger’s eye. Initially, it was used for jewellery making but now with its increased popularity, super hard quality and silky lustre, it is also used for carving sculptures and other ornamentations. As being attributed to the true king of the jungle, the tiger, it holds a similar value when used for carving the celestial king of Hinduism, Lord Ganesha. It has been used as a talisman since the early days of human civilization and grants prosperity, strength and courage. Ganesha’s royal double-tiered lotus throne carved here in a designer backdrop of coiled vines is a representation of the sculptor’s mastered creativity.
The detailed striated trunk beautifully coils to form two layers. Focusing even on the minutest features of the perfect shape of the motichoor laddoo, differentiated layers of Ganesha’s stone-studded thick necklace, pleated designer dhoti and the symmetric chisels of his glorious crown are a skilful work of art that requires months of time and labour for such a quintessential artefact. Although seated in his usual iconographic posture, but the very view of Ganesha along with the two mice on either side of the pedestal being shaped out a solid single block of tiger eye stone is in itself an amazing creativity. Having a tiger eye Ganesha for your interiors is the best way of spreading joy and happiness which leads to reduction of fear and anxiety, hence maintaining a harmonious balance.
