A silver repousse plaque depicting Shiva in the form of Virabhandra, India, 19th century, of rectangular form, shown standing with four hands in which he holds a bow, an arrow or a staff, a sword and a shield16.5 x 12.1cm., 93 grams Daksha, whose human head was replaced with a ram’s head, stands on Virabhadra’s right, his hands in anjali mudra. Daksha’s original head appears to be at the base of the shield that Virabhadra holds on his left. The figure to Virabhadra’s left probably is Bhadrakali, Virabhadra’s consort. Her hands are also in anjali mudra.
