Description from the seller

Olive-colored bronze depicting the goddess Durga Mahishasuramardini, the one who kills the demon Mahisa. The goddess, as is usual in most of her representations, grabs the demon by the hair as he rises from the corpse of the buffalo she has just decapitated, while in the other arm she wields the trident. She wears a triple crown and a flaming halo surrounds the figure. She rests one of her feet on the tiger that accompanies her, which has the head of the buffalo between one of its paws. The base with lotus petals shows a small break on one side, which does not affect the figure.
