ASTA 193 - FINE CHINESE, ASIAN & ISLAMIC WORKS OF ART
Lot 236
Big and refined brass fusion statue which probably depicts the dharmapala Mahakala in one of his Chaturbhuja versions (with four arms). He holds a sword, a shield, a human head and a kartika (ritual knife). He is propped up by an embossed halo, therefore maybe the statue was originally inserted in a little templar niche. This statue shows many iconographic differences compared with the traditional forms of Mahakala, therefore is very difficult to safely identify this character.
