[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 204567, member: 1899"]Any Jewelry, thanks for the information. Yes, I see the problem with identifying the Goddess. I've looked closely at what she has in her hand and I can only come up with some type of hand warmer, instrument or offering. I think Shakti would be a good working title as you proposed. The carved wood figure does look to me like it may have been part of a structure of some type and used *perhaps* in an old Temple or frequently visited place (just a guess, this would explain the excessive wear and aged look of it). There are a number of holes in the wood and it looks like it was mounted to something at some time. There is a hole on the bottom at an angle that still has a small piece of a wood rod in it. There are 2 holes on the top of it and there are 4 small holes in a squared area on the back. I've included some more photo images to point this out and show them. Thanks! Kevin.
