South Asia, India, ca. 11th to 12th century CE. A marvelous hand-carved stone stele of Bhairava (also known as Mahakala Bhairava or Kala Bhairava in Hindu), a wrathful form of the Hindu god Shiva who protects his devotees from their enemies, depicted standing atop an integral plinth with a decorative pointed arch behind him. The fierce deity displays 4 arms, ornamented with a range of twisted serpents, which serve as earrings bracelets and anklets. A small dog, known as Shvan, who serves as his sacred mount or divine vahana (vehicle), is shown seated to his left side. His hands hold each of his weapons, including a sword, a noose, a trident, and an axe. The intimidating divinity is both nude yet heavily adorned wearing a towering headdress and a lengthy, as well as platform sandals, anklets, and a slender belt. A petite figure stands on right side. Size: 14" W x 30.5" H (35.6 cm x 77.5 cm); 32.5" H (82.6 cm) on included custom stand.
