Carved wooden statue of Ganesh and an Islamic postman engraved in bronze/brass

Lot of two exclusive handcrafted artifacts steeped in history and Oriental spirituality. Statue of the god Ganesha in light wood, finely carved by hand, Indian craftsmanship. Dateable to the late 20th century. Ganesha is depicted with all his symbols and in a meditative pose under an umbrella. Circular base with soft non-slip and scratch-resistant fabric. Dimensions as shown in the photo. Weight about 500 grams. Islamic desk letter holder/document holder dating to the early 20th century. Elegant writing desk accessory with a triangular metal frame (bronze and brass) finely handcrafted. The front surface presents on both sides a central embossed medallion with classical Arabic calligraphy, surrounded by arabesque decorative motifs. The incised phrases refer to scriptures and good fortune. The hollow interior shows the natural oxidation of time. Dimensions as shown in the photo. Weight about 300 grams. The objects are in excellent condition (the statue is like new), consistent with age and use. No structural cracks or missing parts. Total weight about 800 grams. From my personal collection. Packed and shipped with care.
