This is a fierce Buddhist deity cast in iron. Probably from the Dali Kingdom, 10-13thC South of China. Possibly early Tibetan. Solid cast. Condition as shown in photos- generally good, with an ancient strong iron patina that grows out of the metal. He is missing one hand. He emanates a powerful presence. Currently, he is securely attached to an old plexiglass stand. He is a very good size at 10 inches tall, by 4.5 wide inches by 3.5 inches deep. As he is a solid cast, he is quite heavy. He is holding a skull full of brains in his left hand and has a snake around his neck. He is naked except for a full garland of human heads around his body. Unsure what the 3-prong headpiece is composed of- Nagas?
