Description
AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE TIBETAN BRONZE-GILT VAJRAVARAHI
This remarkable and rare gilt-copper figure of Vajravarahi is executed with the greatest possible detail for a sculpture of its size. The powerful deity’s sharp teeth and sow’s head are clearly articulated, as are the features of her skull crown, beaded festoons, severed heads, petite fingers and toes, with matched cargo. The distinct mode of craftsmanship indicates that this was created in Nepal.
Dimension: L. 63.5 cm. W. 37 cm. H. 60 cm.
