Bronzeskulptur, 18. Jahrhundert. Sogenanntes "Yab-Yum" (याम
यम = "Vater-Mutter"). Zwei zu einer Skulptur zusammengesetzte
Bronzefiguren mit jeweils feuervergoldeten Details. Der zornige
Gott Mahakala (महाà¤à¤¾à¤²) beim "Karmamudra" (tantrisch
kopulierend) mit seiner "Shakti", der Göttin Pelden Lhamo. Beide
Figuren jeweils mit Schädelkrone, rituelle Gegenstände haltend.
Gesamthöhe 20 cm, Gesamtgewicht 2800 g. Das Yab-Yum symbolisiert
die aktive Kraft (upaya), die sich mit der Weisheit (prajna)
vereinigt. Es hat im Dharma keine primär erotische Intention,
sondern soll als Konzentrationshilfe beim Meditieren dienen. Die
verwendete Bronze enthält laut RFA zahlreiche Spurenelemente, u.a.
Arsen und Gold, wie für Stücke aus dieser Zeit üblich. Vgl. zur
stilistischen Einordnung: Christies Auktion Sept. 2020, Nr. 19040
