Statuette of
Ekajata,
a
Tara from Tibetan Buddhism. She
comes in many forms, but is usually depicted naked,
wearing just a
tiger
skin around her thighs
and a necklace of human skulls around the neck, while
being surrounded by flames, which represent wisdom. She
may also sway a human body and
trample on a corpse, actions that symbolize the
suppression of the ego. |
