Hindu Kali Vajrayogini Miniature Goddess Statue Buddhist Dakini Vajrayogini Figure

Vajrajogini is in a class of deities called dakinis. Dakinis are the female consorts of the herukas, wrathful and semi-wrathful male deities. They can also be considered the feminine aspect of one's innate nature. Dakinis can be human, or non-human and are able to travel through air. Vajrajogini holds a kartri (kartika) in her right hand. As a ritual artifact it symbolizes disintegration of all matter and the cutting of worldly bonds. In Tibet, this is the knife used to cut up corpses to feed to the vultures in "sky burials". In her left hand she holds a skull cup. She wears a garland of severed heads and rides upon corpses. Vajrajogini is surrounded on all sides by the burning grounds. She is nude, though covered with many ornaments. This image of Kali Vajrayogini miniature statuette figurine was sculpted and touched-up in a larger size, then miniaturized. The figures are individually cast by hand, each one antiqued and polished to highlight its details. The ivory substitute is a proprietary resin casting material that is warm to the touch and very durable. Try adding a drop of aromatic oil on the porous backs which are also flat. Ideal size for pocket or purse. #SO-MSVJ
