Ganesha, Shiva, Parvati Silver Panel from India glass bead and three 4mm loopsUnusual silver panel that was once part of a large prayer piece about the life of Lord Ganesha, the elephant headed Hindu god. This is quite possibly a "family portrait" panel. This panel measures 36mm x 35mm x 1mm thick (no solid backing) and features the elephant headed god Lord Ganesha with his father Lord Shiva and his mother the Goddess Parvati. This panel is worn and has a patina to it. There is no loop or bail for this piece.
