Bronze plaque of Virabadra

Posted by Picasa


a warrior form of Shiva, with four arms holding a sword, a shield, an arrow and a bow. On his side are standing Daksha, with a goat head, and Sati. One of my first Hindu bronzes.......40 years ago, this appealed to me because it appeared as though Virabadra was wearing roller skates! And characteristically, lesser Egyptian Gods, Daksha and Sati are represented by much smaller figures.....
