Indian Standing Figure of Durga

A bronze Durga mid-stride, one foot planted on the demon.

This standing figure of Durga was made in India in bronze in the 18th century. She is commonly shown as a many-armed warrior goddess, and this form follows that convention. A tall pointed crown sits above a calm, broad face. The upper hands lift weapons out to either side, while a long spear angles down across her body toward the figure beneath her feet. The small base is rectangular. The metal has aged to a deep brown with golden highlights.

About 4 inches tall. Pocket-sized power.
