Special Features:  In this pose Shiva is known as Vinadhara (translated "Veena Player"), the Lord of Music.  A title he borrows from Saraswati.  The pose is called is called "Veena Player" because Shiva's two front hands are in the position they would be if he was playing a veena or guitar.  The veena is missing as it is in all Vinadhara sculpture.  Shiva in this pose is a slender young man.   His face is long and thin like his body without any extra ornamentation.  In his hands he holds an axe as well as an antelope or a deer.  In some Vinadhara sculptures the deer and the axe are in reversed hands.  His chest is bare flowing down to his shapely hips.  He simply wears a loin cloth as his only vestments.  His legs are long and thin.  In Vinadhara sculptures, the legs, if done properly, give the entire piece grace and fluidity as is evident in this standing Shiva.

Care:  The piece can be used both indoors and outdoors.  Dust the piece regularly.  If you would like the piece to shine use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or other natural oil to wipe down the statue.
