Ganesha Idols with Stone and Colour Work

Ganesha idols with stone and colour work are a finished style: the stones and colours are applied by hand after casting, so each piece has a slightly different look. The sizes run from small figures to very large idols, so the height decides where a piece suits. The thing that matters most is the care: the stones and colour need gentler handling than the plain metal.

Most pieces are brass, with a few in aluminium, and each listing names the metal. Dust with a soft brush rather than a cloth that can catch on the stones, and keep water away from the stone and colour work. Lift by the base, not the trunk or arms.
