Title: Standing Shiva or Temple Guardian (Dvarapala) Date: ca. first half of the 10th century Culture: Vietnam (Champa) Medium: Stone Dimensions: H. 50 1/2 in. (128.3 cm) Classification: Sculpture Credit Line: Gift of R. H. Ellsworth Ltd., in honor of Douglas Dillon, 1987 Accession Number: 1987.478 Located on a major sea route between India and China, Champa, in the central part of Vietnam, played an important role in early Southeast Asian history. This rare sculpture, which may represent either a temple guardian or the Hindu god Shiva, shows the rugged sculpting and distinctive physiognomy, particularly the prominent mustache, that typify the art of the Chams. He wears a short wrap, which features a long front pocket with an oblique upward curve, and a sash. He carries a rosary in his left hand and a club or trident in his right. An early tenth-century date is suggested by stylistic parallels to sculptures in contemporaneous buildings at Mi Son, an important site dedicated to Shiva, as well as further southeast at Khoung My.

Panel fragment with the god Shiva/Oesho ca. 3rd century A.D. Object Details Title: Panel fragment with the god Shiva/Oesho Period: Kushan Date: ca. 3rd century A.D. Geography: Bactria Culture: Kushan Medium: Terracotta, gouache Dimensions: H. 57.2 cm, W. 41.6 cm, D. 5.7 cm Classification: Ceramics-Paintings Credit Line: Gift of Isao Kurita, 2000 Accession Number: 2000.42.4 This rare Central Asian votive panel depicts a deity (with nimbus) being approached by a worshiper, probably nonroyal but portrayed as of equal stature to the god. Compositionally, they follow scenes of homage and investiture from the post-Hellenistic West and from Iran in which a king and a god appear side by side. Along with the hands of a missing worshiper, the god Siva/Oesho is depicted. Four-armed and three-headed, with a prominent third eye, he wears an animal skin and a belted, diaphanous garment and holds a trident. Here, the rich intercultural style that developed in the Kushan realm is most clearly displayed: Indian divine iconography; the Iranian type of two-figured composition; and Greco-Roman naturalism in the drapery and pose, as well as in the use of light and shadow to suggest modeling. The panel has holes at the corners and was probably set up, together with three others acquired by the Museum (MMA 2000.42.1, .2, .3), on the interior walls of a sanctuary, perhaps a family shrine.
