Birds Amulet Necklace. Antique. India. Sterling Silver. 1304.

This amulet is probably from the late 19th or early 20th century, solid, high grade silver. A pendant from Rajasthan, northern India of Ganesha.

Ganesha is one of the best-known and most worshiped deities in the Hindu pantheon.
Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom. As the god of beginnings, he is honoured at the start of rites and ceremonies. Ganesha is also invoked as patron of letters and learning during writing sessions.

A sacred, powerful charm, it is believed to offer the wearer protection.

The amulet has been strung on an adjustable turquoise necklace of cotton.

This is an original old worn collection piece in good condition. I have not cleaned the amulet to highlight the beautiful details of the workmanship, as some prefer it to be left in its original condition.
