A SMALL BRONZE FIGURE OF DURGA SLAYING THE BUFFALO-DEMON MAHISHA, INDIA, 16TH-17TH CENTURY

Finely cast with the ten-armed goddess slaying the demon just as the he emerges from the decapitated body of the buffalo. The goddess delivers the death blow with her trident while grasping the demon’s head, his decapitated buffalo head and body to her left foot. Her arms fanning out holding various attributes. The face dominated by wide bulging eyes, the deity heavily adorned with jewelry, all raised on a beaded and stepped plinth.

Provenance: From the private collection of Naval Captain Schüz, Germany, acquired in the early 20th century, and thence by descent within the same family.
Condition: Good condition with expected old wear, mostly from worshipping within the culture, and some minor casting flaws, small nicks, and tiny scratches. Small loss to the pedestal.

Weight: 115.7 g
Height: 9.2 cm



Literature review:
Compare a related eight-armed Durga Mahishasuramardini slaying the demon buffalo, in the British Museum, museum number 1940,0716.40. Also compare a closely related Durga Killing the Buffalo Demon, 9.8 cm tall, in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, accession number 1994-148-180.
