Through the loops on the pedestal, poles were inserted to carry the image in procession. Such loop-like forms, projecting sideways, however, are used compositionally, at the height of the girdle, in the shape of the snake, held as a noose in the upper left hand, and in the double loop of the triśūla, held in the upper right hand of Kālī. These wiry forms give to the image a more metallic character than is the case in other metal images (see also the spur-like projections of the rings of snakes around the breasts, and on the left side of the girdle). - [Previous: c8.306](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.306) - [Next: c8.308](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.308) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.307](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.307) · Pramāṇa
