Kali leans against the buffalo holding a large trident and ten sacred weapons including sword, knife, goad, axe, bow and consuming flame of purification
Hand-cast brass develops an aged golden patina, her skull necklace symbolizes ego death, each arm extends with purposeful sacred intention and spiritual mastery
On an ornate lotus base, this becomes a powerful altar focal point or spiritual home decor, invoking fearless transformation and divine liberation

Kali, the fierce divine mother and destroyer of evil in Hindu tradition, embodies the raw power of divine transformation and the annihilation of ignorance and ego. Leaning gracefully against the buffalo, the sacred vahana symbolizing strength and the subduing of brute force, she radiates fearless power and spiritual mastery. Her ten arms hold an arsenal of spiritual weapons: the curved sword of discrimination cutting through illusion, the ritual knife for precise spiritual action, the goad for controlling obstacles, the axe of destruction removing all that blocks enlightenment, the bow of focus and aim, and the consuming flame of divine purification. The large trident represents the three aspects of cosmic power, while her skull necklace symbolizes the death of ego and the transcendence of all limitations. Her fierce expression and commanding presence speak to her role as the divine force that destroys all impediments to spiritual liberation.

Hand-cast from brass in traditional Balinese style, this masterpiece features an exquisite aged golden patina that develops naturally over time, creating a warm, sacred appearance of profound spiritual depth and authenticity. Every arm extends with purposeful intention, each holding intricate sacred weapons carved with remarkable detail. Her elaborate crown rises with ornate splendor while her multi-armed form radiates dynamic energy and divine power. The buffalo beside her is carved with magnificent detail, its powerful form grounded and supportive. The ornate lotus base beneath provides spiritual foundation and purity. This becomes a powerful altar focal point, spiritual home decor, or meditation tool that invokes fearless transformation, divine protection, and the liberating power of destruction that clears the way for enlightenment.

"The statue chooses you.

You know when you find the right piece to bring into your home and into your heart."

~ Kyle Tortora, Founder, Lotus Sculpture ~

The Hindu Goddess Kali is the malevolent form of Devi. She is associated with eternal energy, "She who destroys". The name Kali comes from kāla, which means "the black one". Since Shiva is called Kāla - the eternal time, Kālī, his consort, also means "the Time" or "Death". Hence, Kali is considered the goddess of time and change.

The Story of Kali: To aid her son in his endeavor to rid the three worlds of the multiplying demon, Raktabija, Parvati entered the cosmic battlefield as the dreaded goddess Kali - dark as death, gaunt with sunken eyes, gaping mouth, with long disheveled hair covering her naked body.

Kali spread her tongue over the battlefield and licked the demon's falling blood catching on her long, outstretched tongue before the drop could find it's way to the ground springing a demonic life anew. Raktabija, without his multiplying numbers was left powerless. Skanda was able to dispatch Raktabija and all his remaining duplicates with ease.

Skanda, guardian of the heavens, went on to destroy many demons who opposed the reign of the gods. But he could not defeat the demon Raktabija. Whenever this demon's blood touched the ground, a thousand new demons sprang to life. He seemed unconquerable.

Skanda thanked his mother for her timely help. To celebrate her victory, Kali danced wildly on the battlefield, bedecking herself with a garland of served heads and a girdle of severed hands.

Shiva Calms Kali: Intoxicated with Raktabija's blood, Kali ran a muck across the three worlds, destroying everything and everyone in her sight.
To restrain her, Shiva took the form of a corpse and blocked her path. As the goddess, blinded by blood lust, tripped on his lifeless body, she was jolted out of her frenzy. She wondered if she had killed her own husband. She placed a foot on Shiva's chest and brought him back to life.

Shiva then took the form of a little child and began to cry, stirring maternal love in the heart of Kali. This forced her to shed her fierce form; Kali became Gauri, the radiant mother, bestower of life.

Brass statues from Bali, Indonesia do not need much maintenance. The best way to maintain the statue is to simply dust the piece periodically to keep any dirt from accumulating. Bali brass is meant only to be used indoors.

You can use a natural oil, like coconut oil or olive oil and a cotton cloth to periodically wipe down the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup.

If you are really interested in making the statue shine you can use some natural oil, like coconut oil or olive oil, and a cotton rag to wipe down the metal portions of the piece. You can use a toothbrush as well to get into the small crevices of the statue like the hands and hair. This will not remove any of the natural patina on the statue.
