Shiva with the Moon in his Hair

anoniem, c. 1000 - c. 1200

The god is making the abhaya mudra, or '˜fear not' gesture, with his front right hand and the varada mudra, the '˜wish granting' gesture, with his left. In his raised, rear hands he holds two of his attributes, an axe and a deer. These attributes are found only in images of Shiva from South India.
