Tibet, 20th century
Exquisitely cast with the fierce deity striding in alidhasana atop a prostrated bull over a prone human figure, his right arm raised with the skull club and his left holding a lasso, adorned by a garland of severed heads and beaded necklaces, his face in a wrathful expression with his snarling mouth revealing his long fangs and his brow centered by his third eye, his hair raised in a flaming coiffure secured with a tiara, all backed by a flaming mandorla over a lotus base
138.5 grams, at least 22 karat solid gold
