Searching for Ganesha by Paul Spencer Sochaczewski
This book starts out with a collection of Ganesha's and they are described using many factors:
description, medium, origin, date of creation, dimensions and the story behind it.
Praise for the authors works is included.
Other works by the author are listed along with reviews from many others.
Table of contents, introduction about collections and the story.
Like learning new things and this is one I had not realized came in many shapes, designs and from different materials.
Love that certain things like way the tusk is facing signifies something different to a certain group of worshipers, vs another group in another country.
Like all the detailed parts of the statues but especially the story behind them are fascinating.
With the descriptions I can picture them in my mind.
Resources are listed at the end along with about the author and his works.
High quality photos included throughout the book. Large file if digital format.
Quite large differences between Asian countries and small changes in idol statutes and what they mean.
Received this review copy from the publisher and this is my honest opinion.
