This exquisitely crafted sculpture invites the powerful presence of the Divine Feminine into your sacred space. Hand-carved from black stone, this depiction of the goddess transcends mere artistry, offering a profound connection to ancient wisdom and transformative energy.

The Fierce Mother

This statue portrays the Hindu goddess Kali, a formidable and complex figure revered as a symbol of time, change, power, creation, preservation, and destruction. Often misunderstood in the West, Kali's fearsome appearance is not an indication of evil, but rather a representation of her unwavering commitment to eradicating negativity and protecting her devotees. She is the divine protectress, cutting away illusions and freeing us from the bonds of ego. In Hindu philosophy, these processes although painful, are considered necessary steps towards spiritual growth. Kali’s dark complexion represents the infinite void from which all of creation arises and to which it eventually returns. She is depicted with a garland of skulls, each representing a liberated head, denoting the power of wisdom and the transcendence of ego. Her disheveled hair symbolizes untamed energy and freedom from societal norms. The four arms, typically depicted wielding a sword, a severed head, a bowl catching the blood of the demon, and offering a gesture of fearlessness and blessings, signify her omnipotence and multifaceted nature.

A Moment Frozen in Stone

This striking sculpture captures a pivotal scene from Hindu mythology: Kali standing upon the prostrate form of Shiva, her consort. Legend says that Kali, consumed by her rage, was uncontrollably destroying the world. To pacify her, Shiva laid down in her path. When Kali stepped on him, she realized her mistake and calmed down. This scene is not one of dominance, but one of profound love, understanding, and the balance of cosmic energies. Shiva's presence grounds Kali's fierce energy, transforming destructive potential into constructive power. This iconography represents the interplay between the static consciousness (Shiva) and the dynamic energy (Kali) essential for creation and spiritual evolution. This beautiful black stone piece measures 12.0 x 7.0 x 3.2 inches, making it a striking yet manageable addition to your altar, meditation space, or home. The dark stone from which it is carved adds depth and gravitas, accentuating the potent symbolism embodied within the deity. Place it where you seek transformation, courage, and the unwavering strength of the Divine Feminine. It is a powerful reminder of the eternal cycle of creation, preservation, and destruction, and the liberation that comes from embracing change.
