For your consideration is a bright brass, rather round Ganesha statue with a missing or broken tusk. Ganesha's broken tusk is most famously attributed to the epic Mahabharata, where he broke it off to use as a pen to scribe the epic as the sage Vyasa dictated. Other popular legends include an instance where he lost a tusk in a battle with the sage Parashurama, or another where he threw his tusk at the moon after it laughed at him. These stories are symbolic of his sacrifice, wisdom, and dedication to knowledge. The broken tusk represents the willingness to make sacrifices for the greater good, whether it's the dedication to complete a sacred text or to show respect to one's father.
The single tusk is also seen as a symbol of wisdom that transcends duality, reminding people that true knowledge sees the universe as one whole, rather than separate parts.
