Antique Shiva Stone Statue

A unique and very unusual depiction of Lord Shiva. Carved in "naive" style and missing his small arms, this small deity statue was designed to fit into a very specific and narrow triangular shaped niche, either within a temple or a natural rock formation. This hand carved statue represents Hindu village art at its best. At least 100 years old, this antique statue is a one-of-a-kind piece.
