The text reads "Four-Faced Lingam (Chaturmukhalingam) - Nepal, 12th-13th centuries AD. Gray schist. The Lingam is one of the oldest symbols of life and fertility in South Asia. While lingams were probably part of the religious lives of the ancient people of the region, they came to be identified with the classical Hindu deity Shiva. Shiva is a god of the goddess Parvati and his two sons, and he lives with his wife, Goddess Parvati, and his son, Shiva. For a Hindu visitor to the temple, this four-faced lingam communicates the mystery of Shiva's many aspects. It would have been a symbol of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Hinduism.
