Carved by local artists in Siem Reap, Cambodia, this depiction of the God Ganesha is carved on local Cambodian sandstone; similar to the stone used to build many temples in the Ang kor complex itself. These Cambodian artisans gain inspiration from the temples of Angkor. The ancient stonemasons provided a powerful benchmark for unique design and refined artistry. In the 1990s, this organization had their first artisans trained by masters in the restoration of temple sculptures. Now they are often called upon to continue this work. Their dedication to the precise technique of the ancients brings out the soul in each piece. Dimensions: 7in x 6in x 4in Weight: 5.4lbs Show more
