Fierce and youthful, this form of Vajrayogini always holds her flaying knife down and raises a skull cup full of blood to drink from it. She is adorned with the usual wrathful ornaments made of bone and skulls. She stands on two victims, who represent ignorance and ego. Her name means ‘essence of all Buddhas’. In Tibet she is known as Naro Dakini, Naro Khecho, Narokhachema, Naropa Khechera, Naro Khechari, etc., in allusion to the teachings of the Indian adept Naropa.

The jewelry inset with turquoise and hardstones, the sculpture richly detailed and gilt overall, with traces of polychromy. The style is closely related to that of sculptures from the Densatil Monastery in Tibet.

Provenance:
- A Belgian private collection.
