O soše
Five heads and ten arms identify this eleventh-century Kashmiri Goddess Siddhalakshmi, now in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Hindu ritual manuals describe her resting on Shiva and a lotus. The left hands carry a goad, book, broken noose and axe, with another offering gifts. On the right are a sword, trident, skull-topped staff and skull cup, alongside a protective gesture. The attributes express knowledge and the capacity to overcome enemies for her devotees. On view in room 244, Indian and Southeast Asian.
Slovy muzea
This specific goddess with five heads and ten arms is described in Hindu ritual handbooks from Kashmir. She is white in color and "rests on a lotus and Shiva." Her left hands hold, from top to bottom: an elephant goad, manuscript, noose (broken), the gift-giving gesture, and a hatchet. In her right hands are a sword, trident, skull staff, skull cup, and the gesture of protection. These objects reveal the awe-inspiring extent of her knowledge, skill, and power to defeat enemies on behalf of her devotees.
