About the sculpture
The third eye in the forehead indicates that this figure identified himself with Shiva, but his kneeling stance with hands raised in a gesture of adoration indicates that he is a devotee of Shiva, who has taken on aspects of the god's physical appearance. The style of the lower garment with the low-slung belt is typical of work from the so-called Baphuon period of Khmer sculpture, like the stone standing image to the left. The eyes, eyebrows, moustache, and beard were once inlaid with silver.
