PETITE STATUE DE VAJRAPANI EN BRONZE

TIBET, CIRCA XVÈME SIÈCLE

Il est représenté debout en pratyalidhasana sur une base lotiforme et devant une mandorle enflammée, écrasant une divinité sous chacun de ses pieds. Sa main droite levée tient le vajra et sa main gauche la ghanta. Il est vêtu d'une peau d'animal nouée à sa taille et son corps est paré de bijoux. Ses yeux exorbités et sa bouche grande ouverte lui confèrent une expression féroce. Son front paré de l'urna est ceint d'une couronne de crânes humains ; non-scellée.

Hauteur : 11 cm. (4 3/8 in.)





Provenance

Acquired in the early 2000s from an American private collection.
