Tibet, 18th to 19th century. A four-armed protective deity in krodha (fury, rage) form. The vaguely executed attributes do not allow for a more precise identification. The dharmapala is in yabyum with his prajna – of very small stature in this work – who is wearing a large bun.
Condition: One foot and the base are missing, otherwise in good condition. Provenance: Austrian private collection; previously in a German private collection and acquired between 1970 and 1980. Dimensions: HEIGHT 4.2 cm
