About this piece
6" solid brass Kali — bare chest, garland of skulls/heads, raised sword, severed head, standing on prone male figure, painted accents in red/green over brass. Hand-cast in Moradabad, the brass-craft capital of India, by artisans whose families have been working in metal for generations.
About this deity
Goddess Kali is the fierce form of the Divine Mother — destroyer of ego, of illusion, of the smaller self that obscures the larger truth. Tongue out, garland of skulls, sword in hand: she is shocking only to those who confuse love with comfort.

Craft notes
The piece is finished in antique brass — a deliberately darkened patina that settles into recesses and brings out engraved detail. It softens with time and use. The piece is solid brass throughout — there is no plating, no hollow shell. Slight variations in finish, dimension, and weight are inherent to the handmade process and are part of the character of each piece.
Care & placement
A versatile piece — works in a pooja room, an entryway, or as a tabletop accent. Polish occasionally to maintain finish.

Care & placement
Wipe regularly with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh detergents. Brass darkens slightly with age — a soft patina is part of the character. Polish gently with a brass cleaner to restore brightness.
