Description from the seller
In Tibetan Buddhism, Mahakala is revered as a Dharmapala, a fierce protector of the dharma who appears in wrathful forms to repel spiritual negativity. His crown of five skulls symbolizes the transformation of the five kleshas into the five wisdoms, highlighting his role as a force of spiritual transformation.
Beyond symbolism, Mahakala plays a central role in protection and purification rituals and is widely depicted in thangkas, masks, and statues throughout the Himalayan region, where these works serve as both sacred objects and refined religious art.
Good Tribal used condition with age related wear. This is great old quality. 3th quarter 20th century.
Careful registered sending, combined sending possible.
