Product description: A striking sandstone Shiva Lingam from Cambodia, this piece embodies the spiritual gravity and sculptural finesse of Khmer tradition. Carved from smooth, warm-toned Cambodian sandstone, the lingam rises with clean, balanced proportions, its surface subtly textured with natural grain that speaks to its origin. The yoni base is gently contoured, grounding the form with a quiet sense of stability and reverence, and the engraving of Lord Shiva's face on the Lingam atop is absolutely captivating. His features are serene and composed, radiating divine grace and presence. The yoni base includes a spout or channel to allow the ritualistic pouring of water, milk, or other offerings to flow out during puja ceremonies.
What makes this sculpture especially captivating is the back panel, where graceful Khmer script has been meticulously incised into the stone. The lettering, rendered in flowing, calligraphic lines, adds a layer of cultural depth and sacred meaning—an echo of ancient temple inscriptions that once adorned the sanctuaries of Angkor. The script enhances the piece not only as an object of devotion but also as a testament to the continuity of Khmer spiritual artistry. Elegant and contemplative, this sandstone Shiva Lingam serves as a powerful symbol of creation, divinity, and timeless heritage. It stands beautifully as both a devotional centerpiece and an evocative accent for any interior.
