Potbellied yet dignified this c800-900 CE Buff Sandstone statue of 'Dancing #Ganesha' from a #Hindu temple at #Rajasthan or #MadhyaPradesh is now at Mount Holyoke College #Art #Museum USA.

It is a stolen item from #India & Holyoke maintains that this idol is with them on 'loan' but has refused to divulge who the owner is.

#HappyGaneshChaturthi (Birth of Lord #Ganesh) to those celebrating today.
