The contrast between the smooth, unadorned surfaces of the torso and legs and the intricacy of the sampot creates a deliberate visual hierarchy, drawing the eye upward to the deity's face and outward to the play of his arms.\u003cspan data-pplx-citation-url=\"https:\/\/collections.vam.ac.uk\/item\/O24957\/figure-of-brahma-sculpture-unknown\/\" data-pplx-citation=\"\" class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" aria-label=\"Figure of Brahma | Unknown | V\u0026amp;A Explore The Collections\" class=\"inline-flex\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eface\u003c\/strong\u003e is the emotional centre of the piece.
