Devi Enshrined and Holding the Tongue of a Demon, c. 1725. Northwestern India, Rajasthan, Rajput Kingdom of Sirohi; or Northern Deccan, Aurangabad. Gum tempera, gold, and silver on paper; page: 35.6 x 26.7 cm (14 x 10 1/2 in.). This enigmatic painting remains unidentified. Set in a forest teeming with wildlife, a four-armed goddess with three eyes and a crescent moon in her crown shows her dominance over a naked, ashen male figure standing to her left by clutching his tongue. In her right hands, she appears to hold agricultural implements, while in her upper left hand she holds a mace.
