Ketilfrith Metal Wall Organizer with Key Hooks

This magnificent image cast in brass and anodized for giving copper’s effect, represents Lord Ganesha, a manifestation blending his two classical image forms, Ekadanta and Lambodara, both being two of his earliest classified eight forms conceived by early seers for prevailing over eight human weaknesses or natures, namely, ‘moda’ – arrogance, ‘abhimana’ – pride, ‘matsarya’ – jealousy, ‘moha’ – infatuation, ‘lobha’ – greed, ‘krodha’ – anger, ‘kama’ – lust, and ‘Mamata’ – possessiveness as also ego. Two of these eight forms, ‘Mahodara’, one with a big belly, and ‘Lambodara’, one with a corpulent belly, relate to the dimensions of his belly and command the two most common aspects of human nature, ‘moha’ and ‘krodha’ respectively.
