Question about Ahura Mazda's appearance

Post Body
I've seen art that depicts Ahura Mazda as having three faces and six arms, is there a specific reason for that or is it just artistic license?
Also, would it be disrespectful to depict Him like that?

I think you might be getting Zoroastrianism's God, Ahura Mazda, specifically a bit mixed with the Hindu category of gods, Asuras, which are described that way. They are connected through etymology, and there's a few examples of overlap between Hindu Asuras and the Yazads, but Asura and Ahura are not 1 to 1
