Tibet/Nepal. The four-armed deity is cast dancing on one leg on top of a prostrate figure, holding flowering branches in two of her hands. She wears a tiger-skin apron secured by a garland of severed heads below her protruding belly, and long scarves which wrap around her arms. Her ears, body and arms are adorned with jewellery. Her face is cast with a fierce expression centred by a third eye, and is surmounted by a tall crown of sculls behind which rises her flaming hair. Mandorla behind the figure. Höjd 19 cm.

Wear to gilding. Presumably missing an arrow.

Provenance

Purschased by Ernst Klein in St Petersburg 1917, thence by descent.
