Shiva in his form as the wrathful Bhairava wields weapons in his multiple arms and glares with a fanged grimace. A blood sacrifice or alcohol are traditional offerings used in the worship of this wrathful form of the god Shiva. The sculpture’s five heads and ten arms, with almost all attributes still intact, make for a beautiful composition. The earrings on this sculpture represent Shiva’s iconography: a snake for the right and a ring for the left.
