    Nepal, possibly Kathmandu Valley
    16th - 17th century



    °°° Price can be reasonably negotiated °°°

    Rare representation of Kali in her Chamunda guise. She is depicted in a terrifying form, with an emaciated face adorned with the third eye, a skeletal body with a sagging chest and hollow abdomen, her eyes bulging out and her mouth in a pronounced rictus. She is depicted standing under foliage, perched on a demon (symbol of ignorance, illusion) in the alidha position (slit to the left), the latter lying on his stomach, left leg resting on right leg, left arm bent, right arm outstretched, hand resting on the ground.
    Dressed in a simple dothi, the goddess is wearing a high tiara, with large circular ear pendants falling to her shoulders. She is adorned with a long garland of human skulls (mundamala), a necklace and arm and wrist bracelets. The deity is emblazoned with four arms brandishing a kapala (human skull serving as a cup), a kartri (cleaver), a trishula (trident) adorned with a skull and a damaru (drum).

    The overall quality of execution is outstanding for a piece of this size.
