Description
India, 19th-early 20th century AD. Cast bronze figure of the Hindu goddess Durga Mahishasuramardini shown standing on decorative base and elaborate frame with six arms each holding weapon; the goddess is shown standing on and slaying the demon Mahisha. 632 grams, 18cm (7"). From a large London collection; formed between 1980-late 1990s. The goddess Durga is the principal female deity of the Hindu pantheon. In her most famous myth she is requested by the gods to slay the demon Mahisha who, with his army of demons, is threatening the universe. Durga manifests herself into numerous goddesses and destroys the demon army and finally kills Mahisha who has taken on the form of a buffalo, hence her epithet Mahishasuramardini - slayer of the buffalo demon.
