Description

INCREDIBLY DETAILED IVORY-LOOK VAJRAYOGINI DAKINI TIBETAN BUDDHIST STATUE USA
Very detailed portrayal of the exotic Tibetan Buddhist Tantric deity, Vajrayogini
Vajrayogini is described as a "Dakini", literally a sky dancer
Etched into
the bottom of the statue, faint and very hard to see in the picture, are the words:  "Sarva Buddha Dakini Yogini--conquering delusion and attachments".  This is part, but not all of her mantra.
Vajrayogini
is usually depicted as  naked except for elaborate ornaments of human bone, and a necklace of skulls.  Behind her are flames.
In her right hand she holds a flaying knife with a vajra handle - a vajra-chopper - which she uses to cut off attachments. In her left hand is a skull cup filled with mahāsukha (the great bliss) which she pours out like wine to her devotees. In the crook of her left arm she cradles a khatvanga or magic staff
this unique statue was created by a very talented and spiritual woman in a small studio in Oregon
has the creamy color and carved look of ivory, though its a best quality ivory substitute
Using incredible miniaturizing technology, this artist is able to create a large, very detailed sculpture, then reduce it without losing the fine detail
This sculpture measures approximately 2 1/2" in height and 1 5/8" at its widest point.  The front is very sculptural, while the back of her "frame" is flat

Vajrayogini is a Deity (or fully enlightened being) of Highest Yoga Tantra. She is the embodiment of the mind of indestructible great bliss and wisdom realizing ultimate truth.
Vajrayogini or Vajravarahi as a tantric Buddhist meditational deity (Tibetan:
yidam
or Sanskrit:
ishtadeva
) comes to us in many forms and from various lineages. She embodies principally: (1) the fully enlightened female, wild, fiery, and energetic (
shakti/kundalini
) aspect of a Buddha; (2) the wisdom (= experiential) aspect leading to Buddhahood; and (3) as a principal dakini (Tibetan:
mKha' gro
; "sky-goer") the (com)passionate guiding and inspirational aspect leading the practitioner to enlightenment.
