[INDOLOGY] Sculptures (from Assam) that I'd like to identify

[Paolo Eugenio Rosati]

 Dear Shaman,

thanks for pointing out this.

I attached other two picture.

I hypothesised the picture (6476) represents the goddess Sarvatomukhi (who
is sculpted also on the torana (6315) placed at the enter of the
complex---that is around 1-2 kms away from the temple complex) but I am not
sure at all.

Best,
Paolo
