Vishnu a tre teste — Storia e analisi

Vishnu è rappresentato qui con due teste extra, quella di un leone e quella di un cinghiale. Originariamente aveva anche quattro braccia. Questa manifestazione del dio indù era particolarmente popolare in Kashmir tra l'VIII e il X secolo.

La corona tripartita e il muscoloso torso superiore sono tra le caratteristiche della scultura del Kashmir.
