19th Century Temple Carving of Kali Standing on Lord Shiva
19th Century Temple Carving of Kali Standing on Lord Shiva. In Hindu mythology, Kali is often depicted standing on the chest of her consort, Lord Shiva. This imagery symbolizes the dynamic interplay between creation and destruction, with Kali representing the fierce aspect of the divine feminine and Shiva embodying the passive, all-encompassing consciousness. Still in very nice condition for its age. Hand carved from one solid piece of wood with great skill and detail. From the Chuck and Eileen Hoffman Collection. Chuck and his wife spent most of their lives teaching in various countries bringing back interesting and often old pieces from the cultures they shared their lives with. Stands 11 3/4 inches tall and is 6 3/4 inches wide.
Condition: Ancient Authentic
