Support, very nice sculpture and good encyclopedic value. --

Comment The
current version of the image seems to have more block artifacts near the edge of the sculpture than
the original. Can you explain, what processing was done ?

HP Image Zone was used to brighten the image, another version has been uploaded to correct the edge errors. --

The block artifacts are still present, and are most likely due to (bad) JPEG recompression by the HP zone software. To see these artifacts, look at the image at full scale and focus along the right edge of the sculpture (say, near the top left arm of Ganesh) and you'll see some grey "squares", where ideally one should see perfectly black background. The artifacts are also very prominent in the region where the original image showed hints of the wires used to support the sculpture (See bottom right part of the image). It may be better to use the original image, or use better photo processing software to edit it.

I am reverting to the original, so that somebody else can fix any problems present. --

Support Images of dancing + eight-armed Ganesha seem to be rarer than his more common four-armed seated iconography; and this decent quality photograph of a museum quality sculpture, that also clearly shows his mount, is a valuable addition to the FA
Ganesha article.

Support per Abecedare. It's the only image in the article in the "Vahanas" section.
