Sold for €3,792
including Buyer's Premium
Tibet. Cast striding in alidhasana atop two prostate deities on a lotus base with beaded lower edge below neatly incised scroll. Her left hand raised and holding a kapala and her right extended behind and clutching a Kartika. Wearing an elaborately jeweled dhoti further decorated with skulls and a beaded necklace.
Provenance: From a private collection in Biarritz, France.
Condition: Good condition with old wear and casting flaws, shallow surface scratches, minor nicks and losses. The base possibly resealed.
Weight: 1,064 g
Dimensions: Height 21 cm
Her wrathful face with large eyes below furrowed brows and a distinct third eye, the teeth clenched in a fierce grimace. The hair falling in locks behind the five-skull crown and vajra finial.
Vajrayogini is one of the primary meditational deities of Tantric Buddhism and the female embodiment of enlightenment achieved through Tantric practice. She is associated with a highly secretive yogic practice which provides the practitioner a fast and direct path to enlightenment. She is the partner of Chakrasamvara and together, by the eleventh century, they became two of the most popular deities in Himalayan Tantric Buddhism.
Auction result comparison: Compare a related but earlier bronze figure of Vajrayogini, lacking most of the gilt and dated to the 16th century, at Christie’s New York in Indian, Himalayan and Southeast Asian Works of Art on 13 September 2017, lot 627, sold for USD 93,750.
