4" Small Ganesha Vahana Brass Rat Statue with Oil Lamp

This hand cast brass rat carries an oil lamp on its back, rendered as Ganesha's vahana, the sacred mount that appears throughout Hindu iconography. The rat sits alert and compact, its posture poised as though ready to scurry forward, while the tiny lamp sits secured on its spine. The casting captures fine detail in the creature's form, from its tapered tail to its small rounded ears, with a warm brass patina that deepens the traditional quality of the piece.

The superfine casting shows careful attention to proportion and finish across all surfaces. At just 4 inches in length and weighing 210 grams, this is a desk, shelf, or altar piece that commands presence without demanding space. It settles comfortably in a curio cabinet, on a meditation shelf, or as a focal point among other small brass devotional figures.
