Details: A 16th century example of the deity Bhairava carved from wood. Bhairava is Shiva at his most terrifying, at his most fearful. He may be understood as an emanation of Shiva, or as Shiva displaying himself at a very high level. In some myths, Shiva created Bhairava as an extension of himself, in order to chastise Brahma. Bhairava is the embodiment of fear, and it is said that those who meet him must confront the source of their own fears. Age: 16th century Height: 24.5 cm Remarks: As can be seen from the above photos, the piece has some has some stress cracks and the wood is very hard and dense, almost petrified. |
