Sulla scultura

Head of Shiva is a statue of Shiva made of sandstone. This statue head was created during the 10th century AD in Vietnam. The statue measures 40 centimeters in height, 21.9 centimeters in width and 44.5 cm in length. Shiva is considered as one of the three major deities in Hinduism, others being Vishnu and Brahma. Collectively, Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma are called trimurti in Hinduism. These three deities are considered as the supreme deities and the creators of the universe in Hindu mythology. Sandstone sculptures of Shiva, like this one, are common in Hindu temple architecture during the Chams period of central and southern Vietnam.
