Brass figurative statue depicting a dancing Dakini...

Refined and dynamic figurative sculpture in solid brass depicting a dancing Dakini (Vajradakini / Vajrayogini), a tantric spiritual figure of considerable importance in Buddhist and Hindu iconography. ​The figure is captured in the classical and complex posture of ritual dance (ardhaparyanka), balanced on one foot atop a base finely worked with a double lotus. In its hands it bears traditional ritual attributes: the bell (ghanta) in the raised right hand and the ritual skinning knife (kartika) in the left. ​The sculpture stands out for the excellent rendering of the slender anatomical figure, the details of the jewelry, the headdress and the drapery. Made using the lost-wax casting technique with the original hollow base, it features a pleasant gilded finish with a light patina of age that enhances its volumes. ​Technical details and Specifications ​Subject: Dancing Dakini / Vajradakini ​Material: Bronze/Brass ​Era: Second half of the 20th century (circa 1970-1990) ​Origin/Region: Nepal / North India / Tibet ​Condition: Very good, with minimal and natural signs of time related to age and material.
