A Tibetan Gilt Bronze Figure of a Wrathful Deity within a Flaming Aureole.

A Tibetan gilt bronze figure depicting a dynamic wrathful deity in a lively dancing posture, set upon a lotus-form base and encircled by a dramatic flaming aureole.

The figure is shown with a fierce expression, the face highlighted in gilt with pronounced eyes and bared teeth, framed by flowing hair adorned with small skull motifs. One hand is raised in a gesture, while the other holds a small ritual object, the body adorned with beaded ornaments and garlands.

The surrounding aureole is formed as a ring of stylised flames, rendered in deep reddish tones with gilt tips, enhancing the sense of movement and energy. The deity stands atop a small figure on the base, adding to the layered composition.
