Product description: Shiva, one of the Hindu trinities along with Brahma and Vishnu, played a crucial role in the spiritual and cultural life of the Khmer Empire. The statues and carvings in the temples of Angkor Wat illustrate the religious history of the Khmer Empire, which embraced both Hinduism and Buddhism at different periods. The bronze statue portrays Shiva in Bayon style, standing in a majestic posture atop a lingam, holding his powerful trident and featuring the third eye on his forehead representing Shiva's omniscience. Bayon style statues are known for their remarkable fusion of Hindu and Khmer artistry with decorated ornaments and headdress, that is typically seen in the statue of Shiva. . He wears a stylized dhoti, a crown engraved with a small figurine of Shiva himself, and holds his divine objects like the disc, rudraksha (holy beads), and a serpent is seen coiled around his body. The face of Shiva exudes a sense of calmness and divine authority, and the black patina is a perfect match for the statue, as black color is associated with infinite, representing the transcendent and formless aspect of Shiva, known as Nirguna Brahman. A beautiful Shiva statue that highlights all intricate details, and the fine workmanship by our artisans of Cambodia.
