Three wooden statues of wrathful tantric goddesses, each standing on a lotus flower backed by a red, fiery aureole. One has black skin and is standing in wide stance, one hand lifted holding a vajra, the other holding a ghanta. The center statue depicts a four-armed deity of red skin, holding a kapala and kartika while trampling on a prostrate figure. The third statue shows Hayagriva, a wrathful deity in wide stance wearing tiger skin, holding a mace up high and another weapon or ritual object, black wings spreading from the back. A small horse head emerges from his head.
