Beautiful statue of Vajrayogini. Vajrayoginī's essence is "great passion" (maharaga), a transcendent passion that is free of selfishness and illusion—she intensely works for the well-being of others and for the destruction of ego clinging. She is seen as being ideally suited for people with strong passions, providing the way to transform those passions into enlightened virtues. Vajrayoginī is visualized as the translucent, deep red form of a 16-year-old female with the third eye of wisdom set vertically on her forehead and unbound flowing hair. Vajrayoginī is generally depicted with the traditional accoutrements of a dakini, including a Drikug (a Vajra-handled flaying knife) in her right hand and a Kapala filled with blood in her left hand that she drinks from with upturned mouth. Size: 6" tall X 3.5" wide X 2" deepHand carved in Nepal. Made from Oxidized copper with silver plate.
