The Warrior Goddess is the fearsome demon-destroying form of Parvati, the Daughter of the Himalayas. In her mythology, she is associated with many different gods, including Brahma, Vishnu and Krishna, while her association with Shiva and Parvati is popular in the Himalayan regions.

Compare the nimbus, crown, and the modeling of the face and body with a seated image of Durga in the Rubin Museum of Art (himalayanart.org, item no. 65790).
