Bust of Five-Headed Shiva
Gray stone sculpture of a bust of a figure with five heads. The figure on top is wearing a crown or headdress with a rounded, raised top; the crown is intricately carved with a zigzag pattern. The single figure on top appears to be smiling with closed eyes. The four heads underneath are arranged in a horizontal line, each facing a different direction: left, front, right and back. The heads on the sides are only partially visible. The figures are wearing earrings with long drops. The heads are stacked on top of each other, attached at the crown. The sculpture is on a white pedestal with a black metal support. The background is light grey. The title of the artwork is "Bust of Five-Headed Shiva" by an unknown artist.
