Guest guest Posted December 2, 2002 Report Share Posted December 2, 2002 A normal human body...actually lithe and graceful. Sitting in the half-lotus position...right hand over left, cupped...curled horns...like complementary crescents...robes from waist down a smooth material...draping the shoulders might be fur (the right shoulder is exposed)...wears what appears more like rudraksha beads than a mala...odd protrubrance from the crown chakra...resembling a tapering cube....alert ears...I think like bull's ears (I'm a NYC person and haven't seen a real bull in over 40 years) but I would NOT say it resembles a buffalo head... Actually have I have a second one...they arrived together...often I put them on the right and left of a shrine to....well, I don't know to what...it just seems very right...then months will go by when they like to be out of sight....
