About this work
The Hindu deity Shiva holds a jar of sacred water in his lower left hand and prayer beads in his upper right hand. We know from the smaller silver statuette nearby that in his two other hands he probably held a trident and a fly whisk. He wears a tiger skin around his hips, the animal’s head visible on his right thigh.
