"A Gray Sandstone Relief of the Hindu Trinity. India, Rajasthan, 11th Century. Deeply and crisply carved depicting Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva standing alongside, with their right hands raised in abhaya mudra, holding their distinctive attributes in their upper hands, Brahma a flower, rosary and book, Vishnu a club and disc, Shiva a flower and trident, with their respective mounts below them, Hamsa, Garuda and Nandi, and smaller figures in adoration. 30 in. (76.2 cm.) high."

Another unusual fusion: the figure of "Dattatreya," who is sometimes imagined as an avatar of all three of the great deities (bazaar art, c.1970's); *a depiction of Dattatreye from the Ravi Varma studio, c.1910's*; *another "Dattatreya," Ravi Varma Press, c.1910's*; *a slightly different view*; and *a more recent print*
