In Kali iconography, the Hindu goddess is frequently illustrated wearing a garland of skulls around her neck and having four arms. The four upper limbs carry a sword, a trident, a severed head dripping blood, and a skull cup catching the blood.
The Mahakali form depicts Kali as having ten heads, ten arms, and ten legs. Each of the arms carries a different object, symbolic of the power of other Hindu gods and goddesses and usually signified by an identifying weapon or ritual item.
