- Lot Description
South Asia, India, ca. 18th century CE. An impressive cast brass figure of the Hindu goddess Durga, with her many arms holding attributes as she defeats a demon. Durga stands on an integral hollow pedestal with one foot planted on a water buffalo, and a small lion stands behind on her right side, almost out of sight. Durga exudes femininity, with her curvaceous body adorned with necklaces and large earrings. Her large almond eyes stare forward, calmly exuding her sacred power. Her eight arms hold attributes, including a conch shell, shield, chakra, sword, and mace, and she grasps the hair of a small human figure that seems to dangle at her side, the enemy Mahishasura, the evil shapeshifting man/water buffalo. Durga is a warrior form of Parvati who combats evil demons while riding a lion or a tiger, and her multiple arms indicate protection from all directions. Usually depicted with a serene expression, as we see on this statue, she is also a mother goddess, a detail not overlooked by this voluptuous piece! Size: 4.25" W x 5" H (10.8 cm x 12.7 cm)
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection; ex-Mary Olmsted collection, USA Ambassador to India and Pakistan
