This finely carved figure of the four-armed Nepalese Goddess possibly a form of Cunda Devi who is a form of Vairocana. Dating form the 18th Century.  She is here in her wrathful form dancing on a corpse representing selfish ignorance and she holds a strangely non-Buddhist array of items. In her top hands, she holds an elephant goad and a circlet (a symbol of Vishnu) and her lower hands hold a lotus and an unidentifiable item. She has a necklace of skulls and is surrounded by cosmic flames showing that she exists beyond the end of time, symbolised here by the flames

It is obviously a part of a larger architectural carving.

On the back, there is an old label that reads ” The University of Texas Exhibition Program”
