3-headed bronze deity Uṣṇīṣavijayā, Nepal, 2nd half 20th century

Beautiful bronze statue of Uṣṇīṣavijayā, a deity from Boeddhism. Made according to the gold-plated method, i.e. processed with hydrochloric acid and mercury and dusted with gold powder. This gives the sculpture a special patina and a deep gold colour. Lots of detail on both the front and the back. Good condition!
