Kali Hair-Sword
Inspired by the Hindu Goddess Kali. Goddess of time, destruction/doomsday, and death.
A walk through the art:
The profile of the sword is designed to mirror the designs of the ancient Indian khanda.
At the pommel, you'll find the glyph for the Kali Mudra, an ancient symbol used to balance energy and dispel negativity. This mudra embodies the Goddess’s ability to empower and purify, serving as a potent reminder of her transformative strength.
At the tip of the pommel is a trident point. It represents the Trishula, or "Kali trident", the three-pronged spear Kali was gifted by Shiva. The three prongs represent the three gunas; sattva, rajas, and tamas.
The hilt features a motif of hibiscus flowers, a nod to the vibrant red hibiscus traditionally associated with Kali. Representing her bloodlust and connection to life's vital energy.
The blade is adorned with 41 beveled stars, symbolizing the combined total of thee Goddess's forms of 8, 12, or 21. Each star a tribute to her limitless manifestations of power and protection.
Materials: Zinc and steel blend; nickel and lead-free
Size: 6.5 inches long
Uses: while it is designed to be a hair-stick, hair-sword, or hair-dagger, it can also be used as an athame, altar decor, letter opener, bookmark, decor for a potted plant, a prop for an art doll, or tucked into a belt, thigh garter, or hat band. I'm sure there are even more ways to slay.
