Lord Ganesh, one of the most widely recognized Hindu deities, is affiliated with intellect and wisdom, and is also the Hindu god of beginnings. These beautiful hinged boxes, adorned with a brass Ganesh, are hand made in India out of Shisham wood. Also known as Indian Redwood, Shisham is laced with marbled wood grains, ranging from resplendent blondes to rich dark reds and chocolatey browns.
