Ganesha

Ganesha is a major Hindu deity. He can easily be identified by his elephant head and (frequently) multiple arms. He is a son of Shiva and Parvati and is widely worshipped in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, especially in connection with any new endeavor or undertaking. He is revered as the remover of obstacles and the god of beginnings, wisdom, and luck. He is a patron of writers, travelers, students, and business.

Enhanced by the plant for a fine composition. In Africa elephants are symbolic too, if you have one carved in its ivory (what is fortunately forbidden now) you put him trump towards the door or the window to prevent for anything or any person to come in and harm you.
