Durga as the Slayer of the Buffalo Demon, 900s. This depiction of Durga is rare and important, as it is a large-scale example of the goddess in bronze. Her conquest over the buffalo demon is indicated by its severed head at her feet. She stands fourarmed and triumphant, with a wheel, conch shell, mace, and clod of earth in her hands.
