Details: A finely carved Tibetan example of a dancing Dakini bone apron element. She is featured in deep relief , bejewelled, dancing with four arms on top of a corpse, which represents her complete mastery over ego and ignorance. The Dakini is a female being, generally of volatile temperament, who acts as a muse for spiritual practice. She is symbolic in representing the testing of one's awareness and adherence to Buddhist tantric sadhana (ritualistic meditation practice). When the Dakini's test has been fulfilled and passed, the practitioner is then recognised as a Mahasiddha (yogi), and is elevated into the Paradise of the Dakinis, a place of enlightened bliss. Age: Late 17th to Early 18th Century Height: 16 cm Width: 4 cm
