Balinese Mastery: The Ganesha of Wisdom

This exceptionally refined bronze statue of Ganesha (Ganapati) is a paragon of the Indonesian casting tradition. With a height of 20 cm and a weight of 500 grams, this piece displays a technical precision characteristic of high-quality Balinese home altars.

Forensic Analysis & Observations

  • Technical Casting: The ratio between height (20 cm) and weight (500 grams) indicates an extremely thin-walled 'lost wax' casting. The detailing in the Mahuta (crown) and the attributes is sharp and without casting defects.
  • Patina Verification: The reverse side and deeper folds show an authentic, layered green verdigris. The transition from the dark bronze to the mineral oxidation suggests natural aging through exposure to the elements, free from modern chemical accelerators.
    • Iconography: Ganesha is depicted with his traditional attributes: the Ankusha (elephant neck), the Pasha (bow), his broken tusk, and the scale with modaks. The hexagonal base with floral motifs confirms the regional origin from Bali.
