Sino-Tibetan Gilt-Bronze of Palden Lhamo. The fierce goddess seated sideways on a flayed skin of a mule in a sea of swirling blood over a mountain base. Holding a kapala in her left hand, adorned in beaded jewelry, the wrathful face with bulging eyes and a third eye centered by flaming brows, her wrathful fangs gripping a prone figure, her flame-like hair containing serpents and topped with a skull diadem. {Height: 7 1/2 inches (19.1 cm)}.
