A GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF KURUKULLA
QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY
The four-armed deity is finely cast dancing on one leg on top of a prostrate figure, holding flowering branches in two of her hands. She wears a tiger-skin apron secured by a garland of severed heads below her protruding belly, and long scarves which wrap around her arms. Her ears, body and arms are adorned with jewellery. Her face is cast with a fierce expression centred by a third eye, and is surmounted by a tall crown of sculls behind which rises her flaming hair.
8 in. (20.3 cm.) high, box

拍品专文

Kurukulla is a Tantric Buddhist meditational deity originating in India. She has a standard recognized appearance that is very common along with other forms that are less well known. She can appear as her own entity or as an emanation of Tara or Hevajra. Compare a gilt bronze Kurukulla sold in Christies New York, 21 March 2008, lot 622.
