The Thanjavur Shiva is a bronze statue of the Shiva Vishapaharana that was originally made in the district of Thanjavur in southern India. Since its purchase by the institution in 1970, this well preserved bronze figure has been considered one of the British Museum's greatest ancient Hindu sculptures from the subcontinent.〔British Museum Collection ()〕 ==Description== The bronze sculpture is a half life size representation of the Hindu god Shiva Vishapaharana wearing an elaborate crown. Intact except for a missing arch above the statue, the god is shown with three arms holding an axe, deer and cobra, with his other arm in the Abhayamudra position. The quality and detail of the casting is very high, demonstrating the remarkable level of craftsmanship achieved during the Chola period. The statue would have once been paraded through the temple precinct to mark religious festivities.
