EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a magnificent Wrathful deity ritual crown from the 19th century. Crafted with exquisite detail, this silver and gilt copper masterpiece is adorned with vibrant coral and turquoise insets, adding a touch of opulence to its already awe-inspiring presence. The Tibetan school that created this crown demonstrated their exceptional metalworking skills, evident in every intricate element. Standing at a height of 16 cm (6 5/16 in) without the crowns and reaching an impressive 22 cm (8 11/16 in) when fully assembled, it commands attention and reverence. Housed within the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA, this artifact holds great cultural significance. Part of The Alice S. Kandell Collection, it represents the rich heritage of Tibetan Buddhism. The crown's design features striking skull motifs intertwined with symbolic elements associated with wrathful deities. Its powerful presence evokes both fear and respect as it embodies divine wrath against evil forces. Through this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, viewers can appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also gain insight into Tibetan religious traditions and beliefs. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and invites us to explore diverse cultures through art's universal language.
