Jewel made entirely by hand by the Italian craftsman Gianmarco Fontana. Pendant made of 925 Silver, which is part of the "Hinduism" collection depicting Shiva.
The figure of Śiva as one of the main Hindu deities, a multifaceted God, possessor of an elaborate mythology and bearer of a sophisticated metaphysics, takes shape and is finally affirmed with the Purāṇa [19], those religious-philosophical texts that expose Hindu cosmology and philosophy through the narratives of the stories, texts transcribed approximately between the 3rd and 12th centuries.
This Śiva is the result of a slow but uninterrupted progression, an evolution in which the characteristics of the god ended up incorporating those of many other gods, such as Agni, God of Fire, or Indra, King of the Vedic pantheon, but also a vast number of minor and local deities connected with sex, death and fertility. [19] The destructive function of Rudra now rises to cosmic dimensions: Śiva is no longer the angry Rudra who in the Vedas was begged not to kill men and cattle: it is the Great God (Mahādeva) who destroys the entire universe, it is the One who saves the world by swallowing poison in the dawn of time (Nīlakaṇtha), it is He who dominates the five elements (Panchānana).
