Description
9.6 inch X 7.6 inch X 4 inch
This brass-cast, a small artifact but outstanding in discovering even the minutest of details of wears, folds of sari in special, jewellery, tresses and various other parts, besides the attributes she carries in her hands or on her person, represents the eight-armed Durga riding her mount lion. The artist has taken special care in modeling her mount, its anatomy, body posture and expression on face. The goddess is holding her normal right hand in ‘abhaya’, while in the left she is carrying, in a gesture of protecting it, a lotus, a product alike of the earth, the ocean and the sky, and thus representing the cosmos – the life and the beauty. Such engagement of her main hands is suggestive of her primary role which consists of upholding life and beauty and assuring freedom from fear. In other six hands she is carrying disc, trident, sword, mace, bow and arrow, the instruments of war, and a full blown lotus, further emphasising that she destroys to let life, good and beauty prevail.
