SOLD

Tibetan repousse copper polychrome mask of Yamataka , a horned yak headed deity wearing a crown of three skulls on its head. Gold gilt ground and painted pigment accentuate the expression of the Yamataka mask.

Yamataka is a violent aspect of the Bodhisattva Manjushri, who assumes this form to vanquish Yama, the god of death. By defeating Yama, the cycle of rebirth (samsara) that prevents enlightenment is broken.

Yamakata, who shares many attributes with Mahakala, is identified by his blue skin and the array of attributes displayed here. He is encircled by fine smaller manifestations, each a yama – conqueror riding a buffalo.

18th century

Dimensions: 15″ w x 7″ d x 17 1/4″ h
