那柏林俺九月份去时，Bode都还没有开，真气人。拜占庭这么大件的雕塑头一回见。去查了查，搬一小段关于Early Christian和Byzantine sculpture:
After the shift of the empire's administrative center (AD 330) from Rome to Constantinople, official interest in monumental sculpture declined. Large sculptures in the round were viewed as idolatrous by the early Christians.
High relief work continued to be carved on the sides of sarcophagi, modified so that figures from pagan mythology either disappeared or were adapted as Christian images and symbols.
雕塑面部被磨掉估计是后来Iconoclasm时弄的了。
那个Siva是印度教里主要的神，我们叫湿婆，听着更象女的了，牛是其座骑，不过他的很多图像雕塑是不分男女。
