Crescent-Crowned Shiva Mandala

Description

A detailed blackwork depiction of Lord Shiva, crowned with a crescent moon and marked by the third eye, surrounded by ornate jewelry and flowing forms. Skulls suggest impermanence and mastery over death, while sacred patterns emphasize protection and divinity. A mandala near the wrist adds balance and harmony. The illustrative and dot-shaded execution creates a bold, spiritual statement along the forearm into the wrist.
