| Title |
Uma-Maheshvara |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
The Hindu god Shiva, with his third eye of wisdom, the skull, and crescent moon adorning his hair, is depicted in his rare benign but powerful 18-armed form, seated in the posture of royal ease. His consort Uma, another name for Parvati, perches on his left knee; both have their main left hands held in the gesture of discourse. Works for Hindu devotion in Nepal were made by the same artists who made Buddhist images; for this reason, Buddhist and Hindu images were made in the same style and differ only in iconography. |
