Tibet, 19th century. A four-armed protective deity in krodha (fury, rage) form, standing on a narrow base decorated with pearls and floral engravings. 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. Sealed base, some green patina.
Condition: Good condition. Provenance: Austrian private collection; previously in a German private collection and acquired between 1970 and 1980.
