EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 5th century Head of Bhairava, an ancient artifact from the unknown creator's hand, is a captivating testament to the rich cultural heritage of Asia. Hailing from the South Asian continent, this ceramic sculpture originated in either India or Southeast Asia, and is now proudly displayed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Bhairava, a form of the Hindu god Shiva, is known for his fierce and terrifying appearance, often depicted with a grimacing face and protruding tongue. This sculpture showcases Bhairava's powerful and intense expression, with deep-set eyes and furrowed brows. The intricately detailed facial features and the subtle color variations in the terracotta material add to the overall allure and mystique of this ancient figurine. The Head of Bhairava is a reminder of the enduring influence of Hinduism on the artistic and religious traditions of Asia, and a testament to the skill and artistry of the unknown artist who brought this deity to life over a thousand years ago.
