Shiva — the Destroyer and Transformer of the Hindu Trimurti — dances at the heart of creation and dissolution, his third eye holding the power to unmake worlds. This hand-carved Hindu god statue captures his cosmic presence in warm ecological ash wood, finished with a smooth lacquer coat that honours the natural grain of the timber.
Each piece is individually crafted — no two are identical. The natural variation in ash wood grain means your Shiva statue is a singular object, shaped by hand in Ukraine.
