Item Details
Description
A Bronze Figure of Bhikshatana-Bhairava, South India, 16th Century
Depicting the form of Shiva as a beggar, dressed in a thin dhoti and sandals, his four arms holding a lotus bud, sword, bow, and a mace, figure height 5.1 in — 13 cm

Provenance:
Bonhams Oxford, January 8, 2014, lot 320
Ex. Private German Collection

Note:
Bhairava, one of Shiva's many forms, is a fearsome manifestation that infamously decapitates one of Brahma's five heads. As a result, he is condemned to wander the earth as a mendicant, and does so by assuming the gentler form of Bhikshatana.

Estimate: $1,000—1,500
