O soše

A Dakini, a bronze made around 1100, is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. The tantric Buddhist goddess tramples figures representing afflictions that keep beings in samsara, the cycle of unhappy births and deaths. Her left hand appears to hold a cup shaped from a skull; a mace rests against the same arm. In the right hand, which she raises, she grips another object whose identity remains unclear. It may be a knife used for flaying. On view in room 243.

Slovy muzea

An extremely rare bronze of a tantric Buddhist deity depicts the trampling of the personifications the of the afflictions that keep beings cycling around the world of samsara, moving from one unhappy birth, death, and rebirth to another. This female deity appears to hold a skull cup in her left hand, with a mace in the crook of her elbow, and she grasps an unclear object that may be a flaying knife in her upraised right hand.
