This large, powerfully-cast gilt-bronze image of Chakrasamvara and Vajravarahi is an extraordinary example of Himalayan metalwork sculpture at its finest. The work once adorned one of the great tashi gomang stupas of Densatil Monastery, and the couple representing the virtues of wisdom and compassion would have towered over the worshippers of that institution from one of the top tiers of the stupa.⠀ #art #artist #southeastasianart #indianart #himalayanart #newyork #auction
