A very large gilded bronze figure of Harihara, a combination of the Hindu Gods Vishnu and Shiva. Thailand Rattanakosin Bangkok.
The figure of Harihara is seated and has four arms holding special emblems -in the lower left, the conch shell (Sankha); in the upper right, the disc (chakra) of Vishnu; in the upper left, his sceptre (danda), ; and in the lower left, the trident (sula) of Shiva. It has been later mounted on a good quality bespoke base which was fitted with a lamp support at the back centre.
The Hindu God Harihara combines the qualities of both Vishnu, the preserver, and Shiva, the destroyer/creator. This sculpture is of particular interest because representations of Hindu gods are rare in predominantly Buddhist Thailand.
