Indian Standing Figure of Durga

Durga, in brass, standing on the trouble she has already dealt with.

This brass standing figure of Durga was made in India in the 18th century. Durga is widely worshiped as the warrior goddess who defeats demons, and she is commonly shown with multiple arms and standing over a vanquished foe. The goddess stands upright on a rectangular base, with arms spread at the sides. A smaller, prone figure lies beneath her feet. The brass is yellow-gold, with a reddish residue gathered in the folds of the garments and ornaments.

Small devotional presence, large attitude. Keep her somewhere she can see the door.
