Ganesh, Ganapathy, Vigneswaren, Pillaiyar... many names for this deity from the Hindu pantheon. Yet images/statues have been found as far afield as China.
In Tamil literature and devotional poems he is described either as "he with the elephant face" or as being "with the head of an elephant". These studies are inspired by the latter.
I had sketched two versions focusing on the elephant aspects.
