Silver Smithing

Size
50 x 35 x 83 cm
This majestic 33-inch handcrafted silver Ganesha is a resplendent tribute to India's artistic heritage. Crafted entirely by hand using the ancient repoussé technique, every intricate detail––from the subtle contours to the ornate flourishes––has been painstakingly shaped from pure silver sheets, devoid of molds or machines. Inspired by the elegant Hoysala style, renowned for its fluidity and architectural richness, this masterpiece is the culmination of 84 months of dedication by a single master silversmith. As one of the last remaining metal artisans from Mysore, he has carried forward a tradition passed down through generations, echoing the timeless principles of Shilpashastra, the classical Indian canon of sculpture.
