A carved wood temple ornament depicting <i>Savarbuddhadakini</i>

The smooth bodied goddess stands on one leg atop a prostrate figure, her right foot pointing out, her left thrust upwards and outwards at a precipitous angle over her left arm to above her shoulder. In her right hand she clasps a flayer (krrtikha) and in her left hand a skull cup (kepala). She wears heavy, pendant circular earrings, a 3 pointed diadem and a girdle at her waist, as well as her long garland of skulls which hangs to below her knees.
