D Pillar of the Community Canada 899 Posts	Posted 07/07/2010 01:18 am I have seen pictures of Indian Goddess with elephant faces in reference to India culture... The elephant is held in high regard... From that I am assuming that this maybe a Temple Token from India... Cool token.... Edited by D 07/07/2010 01:21 am Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16867 Posts	Posted 07/07/2010 01:40 am The elephant-headed Hindu deity depicted on this token, Ganesha, is male. Though this particular type of temple token isn't listed on zeno.ru, other similar types featuring assorted Hindu deities are. This one is the closest match. The "3-shaped" symbol on the other side (the pic is currently upside down) is the Sanskrit mystic word "Aum", used in chants and meditation. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
