Durga Destroying the Buffalo Demon

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts a woman riding on top of a creature with the body of a man and the head and legs of a buffalo. The woman has long hair and wears a crown-like structure on her head. She has her right arm wrapped around the creature's neck and her left hand grasping its right wrist. The creature has its left leg bent at the knee and its right leg extended behind it. The sculpture is made of stone and is mounted on a black base. The woman's facial expression appears calm, while the creature's facial expression appears to be one of distress. The woman's body is adorned with a necklace and a cloth wrapped around her waist. The background of the image is a gradient of gray. The sculpture appears to be "Durga Destroying the Buffalo Demon" by an unknown artist.
