The image and the base were case in one piece in the lost-wax method. There are traces of red paint for her mouth and blue paint for her hair.

- Unidentified Buddhist Goddess with eight arms and three heads, with base
- Artist
- Artist Unknown, Tibet or Nepal
- Physical Description
- A miniature figure of a tantric goddess, very finely cast by the cire perdue (lost wax) method. The goddess is shown seated in lalitasana pose ("royal ease," one knee bent and the other relaxes) on a lotus dais, which is separately cast. She has 8 arms which are in variants of vitarka mudra (the gesture of teaching). She has three heads, with the two lateral heads seen here as partial profiles; each wears the five-petal tiara of Tibetan Buddhist ritual. Her skirt is unusual, looking to be made of leaves, instead of the usual dhoti. Her hair is painted blue and her lips red.
