Ganesha poses with heroic elegance holding his weapon in one hand. Known as the Hindu god of wisdom, intelligence, education and prudence, he is the son of Shiva and Parvati, and husband of Bharati. "I like this standing Ganesha very much, he looks very elegant to me," confides Duangkamol. "It has always been my passion to be able to create graceful and meaningful figurines. It is my way of storytelling without having to say anything."
About the Artist: Duangkamol Srisukri is from Bangkok. 'Most of my works are Thai and Chinese reproductions like vases, ginger jars, and figurines,' she says. 'My intention is to maintain the ancient art of celadon and stoneware so that future generations can enjoy these pieces. Together with other artists, we have created beautiful hand-crafted pieces with ornate incisions and bas relief. Each piece that I make has many stories to tell. Each piece is individually signed by the artist who has worked on it.'
The Duangkamol Artisan Collection is brought to you by Novica in Association with National Geographic. This beautiful piece was handcrafted by Duangkamol in Thailand. An artisan story card will be included with your purchase.
