清十八世紀 鎏金銅吉祥天母班旦拉姆像

cast seated on a galloping donkey with arms raised, wearing beaded jewels around the chest, the ferocious face with exaggerated features and pierced with a third eye between the eyebrows, the flaming hair surmounted by a five-skull crown, all supported on a marble base

Good general condition. Most likely missing an attribute that would have been held by both hands; wear and rubbing to gilding; scattered notched dents, particularly concentrated along the back; losses to semi-precious stone inlay to necklace, bridle and elsewhere; chips and losses to tips of flaming hear and skull crown.
