[CLICK FOR DETAILED PHOTO... ](https://3dwalk.be/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/DSC8192-scaled.jpg)India, Bihar Pala Period, 11th C AD Black basalt L 61 x H 43 cm Provenance: Private collection Canada Collection Gallery Marcel Nies, 2009-2014This relief depicts Revanta hunting, seated on a horseback, preceded and followed by Danda and Pingala. He wears a dhoti and a girdle and has high boots similar to those of his father Surya. Revanta was a very popular figure in Bihar during the Pala period, as several stone representations have been found. By the 10th Century in East India and Gujarat Revanta became the patron deity of horse traders, warriors and horses, and is thought to protect everyone against the dangers of the forest, which may explain his increasing popularity. This relief was probably placed in a niche on the external wall of a temple dedicated to the sun god Surya.

Mukhalinga with the face of Shiva

[CLICK FOR DETAILED PHOTO... ](https://3dwalk.be/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/DSC9946-scaled.jpg) Cambodia Pre-Angkor period, 7th/8th century Sandstone H 44cm The Linga with square base, octagonal mid-section and cylindrcial top represents a phallus, the immaterial form of the supreme deity Shiva. The face of Shiva with a slight smile is carved in relief, the chest with the square shoulders clearly delineated. The elongated ears are adorned with earrings. His high coiffure is rising to a pronounced conical ridge that recedes into the linga. The flaring bulbous shape is very naturalistic. Lingas with faces, usually only one, seem to have been popular only during the Pre-Angkor period. In the following Angkor period the more abstract form without a face was preferred.The focus of worship in a Khmer Shiva temple was the linga. Great political and spiritual significance was attached to the linga. Some linga were embedded into a circular base, called the yoni; they symbolize the union of the two complimentary poles, the male and female.
