Description
Devotional sculpture in polychrome marble depicting the goddess Durga riding a Durga lion, one of the most widespread manifestations of Shakti (the universal female energy) in India.
The representation is somewhat folkloristic and naive, but at the same time capable of conveying the authenticity of a sincere and spontaneous cult. Polychromy has been reinstated in recent times over authentic traces of colour.
