Kali Enshrined (verso), from a Kalighat album

Cleveland Museum of Art

A painting of a woman with black skin and a long red tongue, wearing a red skirt and gold jewelry, surrounded by a green halo on a yellow background with a black border. The woman has a large headpiece on her head with jewels and a green sunburst design behind it. She has eight arms and is holding various objects, including what appears to be a sword or a similar weapon. Her face is black with red and green accents, and she has a large red tongue sticking out of her mouth. She is wearing a red skirt with white dots and a gold top with black designs. There is a small head at her feet. The painting style appears to be traditional Indian, specifically Kalighat painting.
