大英博物館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (大英博物館Instagram)「The Hindu goddess Kali is the most bloodthirsty member of the Hindu pantheon – and the most terrifying manifestation of Kali is Cāmuṇḍā. Cāmuṇḍā embodies bareness and decay. Her name was derived from one of her first acts – decapitating the demons Chanda and Munda. In this ancient relief Cāmuṇḍā is shown scowling, baring her teeth as her eyes bulge menacingly from her sunken and skeletal face. She is shown with a host of fatal attributes, holding weapons in her multiple arms. Look out for: 💀 A garland made from the skulls of her defeated enemies. 🐍 A nāgapāśa: a snake uses as a weapon to bind enemies. 🔪 The sacrificial kartrī dagger against her chest. 🦂 A scorpion on her torso representing sickness, death and decay. 🩸 A kapāla: a skull-shaped cup for drinking blood. 🏛 Come face-to-face with this fearsome goddess and explore the complexities of female spiritual power in our international touring exhibition ‘Revered and feared: feminine power in art and belief’. ✨ ‘Revered and feared’ will be on display at @CaixaForum venues across Spain from 28 September 2023 until 4 January 2024. 🔗 Find out about more about the exhibition and our other international touring shows via the link in our bio. 🔎 Figure of Cāmuṇḍā.
