Ganesh Wall Mask

This is an amazing piece of art, where every square centimetre of this wood has been intricately hand carved from jempinis wood, which has been taken from sustainable forests by the world famous wood carvers of Mas in Bali, and, like all the wooden products imported by the Buddha of Plenty, has been made to order specifically for us on a Fair Trade basis.

Lord Ganesh is the most beloved and revered of all the Hindu gods, and is always invoked first in any Hindu ceremony. There are many stories about how Ganesh received his elephant head, but the most familiar is that he was created as an ordinary boy, but was decapitated in battle. Shiva's emissaries were sent into the forest and told to get the head of the first animal they found and to fit that head onto the boy's neck.
