A description of all of the characteristics and attributes of Ganesha can be found in the Ganapati Upanishad (an Upanishad dedicated to Ganesha) of the rishi Atharva, in which Ganesha is identified with Brahman and Atman.According to the strict rules of Hindu iconography, Ganesha figures with only two hands are taboo. Hence, Ganesha figures are most commonly seen with four hands which signify their divinity. Some figures may be seen with six, some with eight, some with ten, some with twelve and some with fourteen hands, each hand carrying a symbol which differs from the symbols in other hands, there being about fifty-seven symbols in all, according to some scholars.The image of Ganesha is a composite one. Four animals, man, elephant, the serpent and the mouse have contributed to the makeup of his figure. All of them individually and collectively have deep symbolic significance.The statue of Ganesha has the following six characteristics represented:Elephant Head: The Ganesha is an elephant headed God, and this symbolizes huge amount of wisdom.Large Ears and Trunk: The statue of Ganesha has large ears that represent he is a good listener, whereas the trunk symbolizes power and mind. The power corresponds to the mind that it has to be strong enough to face and overcome the complexity not only of the external word and at the same time the mind has to be vibrant enough to understand the mechanism of inner world.Four Arms: The four arms of this God represents the presence and power (omnipresence & omnipotence) which means Ganesha has immense powers and is present everywhere, the right hand of the Ganesha statue is raised which means that Ganesha's blessings are always present for his devotees, and his powers always help them in the difficult times.Single Tusk: The Tusk on the statue represents high level of wisdom that is possessed by Ganesha, although there is only a single tusk and the other tusk is broken, this actually portrays that bad times come to everyone and every individual has to overcome these worldly emotions and sentiments through high level of intelligence to achieve perfection.Laddus Filled Tray: This statue is made as sitting on a tray that is filed with laddu (a Hindu sweet). These laddus represent gigantic wealth; this wealth is provided only to the devotees of the God.Mouse beside Statue: The mouse beside the statue of Ganesha conveys a message to the people that the ego and pride is bad and it can fail the superior traits of anyone.
An elephant's tusk (one tusk) is worth about 700 dollars that's a common price for a solo tusk.
The Asian elephants tusk was bigger than the African elephants tusk
