Title: 19" Ardhanarishvara (Shiva - Shakti) Brass and Stone Sculpture Description: Simple in make and sophisticated in meaning, this brass and stone sculpture of Ardhanarishwara holds within its aesthetics the supreme wisdom and power of three realms. Emerging from a Vedi (altar) shaped platform, Ardhanarishwara replace the Shiva-Lingam in this composition, becoming an alternative representation of the primordial divine according to Hindu tradition- neither male nor female. The right half of the figure is Shiva, adorned with his crescent moon, serpent, and tiger hide garment, holding the trident, a weapon of destruction, symbolizing his role as the cosmic destroyer. Complementing him is Parvati on the left, wearing exquisite garments and jewelry, and carrying a lotus in her hand which is a symbol of the origin of life and fertility.
