西藏 十八/十九世紀 銅鎏金錘揲智行佛母及金剛亥母飾板The artist has skilfully hammered and chased these lively images from plain metal sheets. Both dance upon trampled corpses, Kurukulla with four arms, Vajravarahi with two. Kurukulla is a manifestation of Tara invoked in enchantment rites by women seeking lovers. A form of Vajrayogini, Vajravarahi is the principal female deity of the Chakrasamvara Tantra. She is the consort of the great transformative deity, Samvara, and is also worshiped in her own right as a protector of the tantra's potent secrets. Her multi-layered aureole is particularly elaborate, formed by an inner ring of flames, a strand of petals with beaded border, and a series of conch shells nestled within the outer layer of flames. ProvenanceAcquired from a Private American Collection, early 2000s
