            21.50” high x 7 1/7” wide

            Weight: 4 lb

an extremely rare Medieval India carved wood of Shakti Goddess of power and energy, wearing her classical crown and jewelry.

Shakti refers to the manifestations of this energy, Shakt embodies the creative and auspicious powers, such as nature, the elements, music, art, dance, and prosperity. Shakti may be personified as the gentle and benevolent Uma, consort of Shiva, or Kali, the terrifying force destroying evil, or Durga, the warrior who conquers forces that threaten the stability of the universe. Goddess worshippers often view their deity as the all-powerful Supreme Being, second not even to a male god. There are enduring goddess traditions all over India, especially in West Bengal and south India. Goddesses symbolizing various aspects of power very often predominate in village culture. Village men, women, and children, when they pray for immediate needs, address a female, not a male.
