Two depictions of the goddess Kali. The image on the left shows Kali with blue skin, wearing a yellow vest and large silver jewelry. She stands on a prostrate figure with a severed head near her right foot. She holds a sword and her severed head's tongue in her right hand and a decapitated head in her left hand. Behind her is a pink and yellow halo-like design. The image on the right shows Kali with a black face, protruding tongue and red dress. She has a crown on her head and holds a sword and severed head in her right hand and a small object in her left hand. Behind her is a green and yellow halo-like design. A figure lies under her dress. Both images have a border around them. The background of the image on the left is mottled beige and green; the background of the image on the right is yellow.
