Of enormous presence, this stone figure radiates
the spirit of a much larger idol. There is
something intense and moving about the strong
features and the forcefully carved lines. It is
unclear whether the statue represents a votary
asking a favor of the gods or the deity himself. It
hardly matters: with the passage of centuries,
this stone masterpiece has transcended to a level
of energy that borders on the divine.
