He is always nude, save for a cincture round the waist, and wears a number of bangles, but in two figures he has three faces, and in the other a single face in profile. All three representations have horns, but on two seals a sprig of flowers or leaves rising from the head between the horns strongly suggests that the figure so ornamented was a fertility or vegetation god, again analogous with Shiva, who personifies the reproductive powers of Nature. - [Previous: c6.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c6.12) - [Next: c6.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c6.14) - [Up: c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c6.13](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c6.13) · Pramāṇa
