This powerful and finely cast bronze sculpture depicts the Hindu goddess Kali, the fierce embodiment of divine feminine energy, time, and destruction of evil. Kali is shown here in her classic form — with multiple arms wielding weapons and ritual items, tongue extended, and standing atop the prostrate body of Lord Shiva, a powerful symbol of transcendence, submission of ego, and cosmic balance.
The figure is framed by an intricately carved arch or aureole (torana), symbolizing divine radiance. The sculpture's detailing in the jewelry, expressions, and dynamic pose reflects traditional Indian Tantric iconography and is possibly from Northern or Eastern India.
