Bonhams catalog note: Large faces of male deities—either a deified hero (vira) or Khandoba, a form of the god Shiva—are made in the Kalara coastal region of Maharashtra and northern Karnataka. They are used to front or rest next to stone lingas particularly on festival occasions and may also have processional functions.

Compare with a related example in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (M.84.228.4) in Pal, Indian Sculpture, no. 119a, p. 234.
