Clad in a sheer dhoti and richly adorned with beaded jewelry as well as tiara, kamarband, and khatvanga.The face with finely painted features and a fierce expression marked by bulging eyes and bared teeth, centered by a third eye, and flanked by pendulous lobes suspending large foliate earrings. Her neatly incised hair falls elegantly down her back, the head surmounted by a skull tiara, and framed by a flaming aureole.Provenance: From a private collection in Vienna, Austria.Condition: Very good condition with wear and casting irregularities.
