The Esoteric Buddhist Goddess Karmavajri
Kashmir style in Western Tibet
This Buddhist goddess personifies the symbol of the Karma family, the crossed vajra (visvavajra), which she holds before her body. Seated in a yogic manner, Karmavajri wears a tall three-part diadem and elaborate jewelry that has been cold gilded. She would have been worshipped as part of a set of images that constituted a Vajradatu mandala. Stylistic and technical similarities confirm that this work belonged to the same ensemble as the Buddha Amoghasiddhi (1984.211, which is complete with its original base)
