[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 337218, member: 2844"]Without attributes it is impossible to tell. Multiple arms indicate power, not who it is. Her face is quite peaceful, and she wears a regular necklace, no skull necklace, so I would rule out Kali. In Hinduism the 'tilaka', or dot on the forehead, is often associated with the Shaktas, followers of a Devi cult. In Shaktism the divine principle is feminine, deified as Devi. Kali is one of the many aspects of Devi. This Goddess could be a God, by the way. Hindu Gods can be quite 'chesty'.[/QUOTE]
