Ancient shell (conch) carving depicting the Hindu God Varaha, photo taken at University of Florida's museum. Also known as a "Shankh" or "Sankha".
Per Wikipedia:
In the Vishnu Purana, Varaha represents yajna (sacrifice), as the eternal upholder of the earth. His feet represent the Vedas (scriptures). His tusks represent sacrificial stakes. His teeth are offerings. His mouth is the altar with tongue of sacrificial fire. The hair on his head denotes the sacrificial grass. The eyes represent the day and the night. The head represents the seat of the Brahmin (priest). The mane represents the hymns of the Vedas. His nostrils are for oblation. His joints represent the various ceremonies. The ears are said to indicate rites (voluntary and obligatory). Thus, Varaha is the embodiment of the Supreme Being who brings order amidst chaos in the world by his sacrifice.
My love of art and all things beautiful has been a lifelong journey. As a wife, mother, grandmother, and labor and delivery RN I have seen a lot of life, and now I want to share my love of art. My journey back to my art started when my younger sister was diagnosed with acute leukemia, about 8 years ago. It gave us all the opportunity to stop and realize how precious life is, and how we must all make the most of our time on this Earth. I rediscovered painting and drawing, and started pointing my camera at something other than my children and grandchildren! I recently signed up at my local community college to start working on my degree in Visual Arts. This journey is just getting going! I hope you enjoy my selection of pictures...
