Shiva, late 10th C CE

Red sandstone Shiva, late 10th C CE, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art. From the sculpture's description on artsmia.org: *'Elegantly posed with jeweled festoons suspended from his belt, pendant ear ornaments, and an elaborately domed hair arrangement (jatamukata), Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction and regeneration, is shown flanked by worshipful celestial couples. Shiva's dynamic triple-bend pose, called tribhanga, is inextricably related to the prescribed motions of body, limbs, and hand gestures of classical Indian dance.'* More information about the sculpture here: https://collections.artsmia.org/art/5094/shiva-india Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
