Ganish statue

Description

This statue was dug up in the 1930's in India. Its the Hindu God Ganish; the elephant with 6 arms. Its fairly heavy for the size. I would say its in mint condition considering it came out of the ground and its age; but I haven't seen one like it to compare it too. I haven't cleaned or done anything to alter how this statue looks.
