{"product_id":"terracotta-ganesha-statue-chatri-mushak-handcrafted","title":"Terracotta Ganesha Statue — Handcrafted Clay Ganesha with Chatri \u0026 Mushak","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eGanesha almost never appears without Mushak, the small mouse at his feet — not as a sidekick, but as a symbol for intellect that needs wisdom to keep it pointed the right direction. This piece keeps that pairing: the lord seated above in formal posture, Mushak positioned below him, a hand-built chatri overhead threaded with clay beads that respond to the faintest breeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMost of the fine detail work goes into the face — painted eyes, a visible tilak mark, an expression that lands closer to calm than stern. The four arms hold the expected mudras and objects, and the crown-and-necklace detailing across the torso is the kind of thing that only shows up when an artisan isn’t rushing the piece, even after making dozens like it before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThat overhead canopy earns its keep practically as well as visually — it gives the statue genuine vertical presence on a shelf, more than a standard tabletop Ganesha figure manages, without asking for more footprint than a compact idol needs. Mushak’s presence at the base also means the piece reads correctly from any angle in the room, not just head-on — something worth considering if the statue is going somewhere it’ll be seen from the side as often as from the front, like a hallway shelf or an entryway console. Between this version and the prabhavali-backed Ganesha in our collection, the choice mostly comes down to space and preference — this one leans taller and more sculptural, while the arched version reads slightly more temple-like against a flat wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaterial\u003c\/b\u003e — Hand-built terracotta, kiln-fired, natural tone with painted detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFigures\u003c\/b\u003e — Ganesha enthroned, Mushak at his feet, chatri overhead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDetail\u003c\/b\u003e — Loose-hanging clay bead strings under the canopy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFits well in\u003c\/b\u003e — Pooja rooms, desk shrines, Ganesh Chaturthi and Diwali gifting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eGanesha and his mouse, sheltered under a canopy made of the same earth they’re shaped from.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soul Of Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50832554230007,"sku":"SOS-066","price":65.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/2968\/7799\/files\/GDesign.jpg?v=1780668067","url":"https:\/\/www.soulofsoil.art\/en-nz\/products\/terracotta-ganesha-statue-chatri-mushak-handcrafted","provider":"Soul Of Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
