Indian Tantric Durga Pilgrimage Figure with Four Arms

Four arms, a blade and a bell, standing very straight.

This tantric Durga pilgrimage figure was cast in bronze in India, and the record dates it to the 18th century or earlier. Small figures of this kind were commonly carried or kept as personal devotional images. The goddess stands upright with four arms, holding a sword, a bell and other emblems, and a large blade rises beside her leg. She wears a tall crown and carries a crisp, ornamented drape. The bright yellow metal rests on a small base.

About 5 inches tall. Fits in a hand, holds a room.
