Sculptures and Textures

A Bronze Statue of the Hindu Deitie Ganesh,5th Century AD, Artist Unknown, India

Ganesh is the good of domestic harmony and sucsess, Ganesh is also prayed to first in all Hindu ceremonies. The artist of this particular piece seems to make his textures by using every small defined tools like a small point I do not know how do that because my back round in terra cotta. They most likely used a small pointy tool to carve out each symbol very slowly. The crown probably required the most work it does not seem all carved but molded as well the pants however are carved more.
