Shiva's iconography is rich in symbolism. He wears a crescent moon - the symbol of intuitive powers - upon his forehead. The sacred Ganges flowing from it is the eternal life-force. His third eye is usually turned inwards (a symbol of spiritual knowledge). Shiva's imagery is distilled in this small but powerful statue. Measures 4 inches high and 2 inches wide. Made of resin.
