Description
TIBET, 18th century
A tempera thangka on canvas; the composition centres on the tantric goddess Kurukulla, depicted with red skin, dancing in a dynamic pose on a lotus-shaped pedestal. The deity is adorned with rich ornaments, necklaces and garlands of pearls, and wears a tall headdress embellished with heads and jewels, her body set against a large, flamboyant mandorla framed by foliage and blooming flowers. The lower register features a mountainous landscape populated by animals, figures and stupas, whilst stylised clouds and rock formations frame the scene.
Framed under glass.
(Signs of wear, creases, craquelure and losses of polychromy visible across the entire surface)
42.5 x 59 cm.
