Found this image today. it spoke to me indeed :-)
The text that was written underneath the picture:
Ardhanarishvara,
or the viewing of the androgynous deity composed of Shiva and his consort Shakti/Parvati (commonly viewed as male and female halves of the same deity).
They are accompanied by a lion and a bull, which are symbols, respectively, of the solar and lunar; in contrast to the European conception, however, Shiva is seen as a “moon-man”,
while Parvati is a “sun-woman”, thus emphasizing the divisions within divisions.
