| Aureole with Hevajra and Yoginis, 12th century Thailand, Phimai (?), 1100-1199 Bronze 12-1/8 x 13 in. (30.8 x 33.0 cm) Norton Simon Museum, Gift of Pratap and Chitra Pal P.2001.09.1 © 2012 Norton Simon Museum Not on view This halo was once attached to the back of a deity's head, most likely that of a Buddha. At the apex of the halo is a figure of the god Hevajra, who has eight heads, four legs and sixteen arms and dances upon a solar disk. Hevajra tramples the four demons of illusion and is therefore an appropriate emblem for a halo. |
