Kurukulla Red Tara Dakini Statue - Embodiment of Magnetism and Wisdom This Kurukulla Red Tara Dakini Statue measures 16.9”/43cm in height and 12.5”/32cm across the base, with a weight of 3.88 kg. The sculpture is constructed from a copper body, which forms the central figure, elaborate ornamental frame, bow and arrow, lotus pedestal, and surrounding decorative elements. The copper surface is richly finished with 24K gold gilding, covering the figure, jewelry, weapons, carved frame, lotus base, and ornamental details with a radiant golden finish. Acrylic painting is carefully applied to the face, eyes, hair, and the large red-pink aureole behind the figure, where repeated flame-like patterns are highlighted with contrasting gold details. Gemstones are set throughout the crown, jewelry, bow and arrow, circular halo border, and surrounding frame, with turquoise-blue and red stones creating vivid accents against the gilded surface. The combination of gilded copper, colorful painting, and gemstone inlay gives the sculpture its richly detailed appearance. The figure is shown in a dynamic dancing posture, with one leg bent and raised while the other supports the body above the lotus pedestal. She has three eyes, a calm yet powerful expression, and an elaborate jeweled crown with layered ornaments surrounding the head. Four arms extend outward: the upper pair holds the bow and arrow in a drawn position, while the lower hands hold her other ritual attributes. Her body is richly adorned with necklaces, earrings, bracelets, armlets, waist ornaments, and flowing decorative scarves. A large circular aureole rises behind her head and body, surrounded by an elaborate flame-shaped outer frame. The inner halo is painted red and encircled by a prominent row of blue gemstone beads, while the outer section is covered with repeated flame-like motifs. The side panels are filled with dense scrolling ornamentation and gemstone details, creating an elaborate architectural frame around the figure. Beneath her feet is a lotus pedestal with individually carved petals, while the entire composition rises from a broad rectangular base. The bow, arrow, four arms, dancing posture, third eye, elaborate ornaments, and flame-shaped aureole form the distinctive iconographic elements of this representation.
