Shiva as Slayer of the Elephant Demon

Gray stone carving depicting Shiva as Slayer of the Elephant Demon. The main figure, Shiva, is positioned centrally, with an outstretched right arm and bent left arm. He wears a short dhoti, and a large circular halo is behind his head. His hair appears curly. Shiva's right leg is bent, with the foot pressed against the side of an elephant-like demon. The demon has a long trunk and tusks. Two smaller figures are present, one on the bottom left, and one on the bottom right. The figure on the left appears to be a musician playing a drum. The figure on the right appears to have their arms raised. The background of the carving is plain. The carving appears rectangular with a rough edge along the top. The image is set against a black background.
