An extensive Lord Shiva bust. The face steeped in profound samadhi (yogic contemplation), framed by His ample dreadlocks backbrushed from the temple upwards and cascading down either cheek, visually reminiscent of the riverine Devi Ganga. A sliver of the moon at the zenith of His hair.
The intense Prussian blue colour comes from the lapis lazuli from which this Shiva bust has been carved. Lapis lazuli is a semi-precious rock whose rich blue colour is like nature’s homage to Mahadeva. The artisan has carved out the facial form of the Lord with remarkable skill and imbued the rock with a lifelike - nay, divine - quality.
A multitude of snakes gather at the base of the composition. From the coils of those serpentine bodies to the serrations underneath those hoods, there is dynamism and a hint of the realistic in these aspects. As a work of art, the natural medium colour, the lifelike lines and curves that define the theme, and the substantial silhouette of this Shiva bust are sure to turn a lot of heads in your home or office space.
