Ganesha Statue

According to the Ancient History Encyclopedia, the Hindu elephant-headed god Ganesha is the "patron of writers, travellers, students, commerce, and new projects (for which he removes obstacles from one's path) and is rather fond of sweets, to the slight detriment of his figure." The original statue was purchased in Ahmedabad, India.
