- Colored print in a white wooden frame depicting a four-armed blue-skinned Kālī holding a blade overhead in one hand and a golden trident in another. On her left, she holds aloft a decapitated head and a basin in another hand beneath it to catch the dripping blood. She wears a skirt of severed limbs and a garland of severed heads. She stands with her foot on the corpse of smiling blue-skinned god who wears a leopard skin sari and a drum in one hand and lays in a field of flowers. In the background, are skeletons and the silouettes of people engaged in battle under a red sky.
