A POLYCHROMED GILT COPPER ALLOY REPOUSSÉ FIGURE OF HAYAGRIVA
MONGOLIA, 19TH CENTURY

蒙古 十九世紀 銅鎏金錘揲加彩馬頭明王像

This figure is known as the Secret Accomplishment form of Hayagriva, who is recognized by the three horse heads protruding from his flaming hair. After receiving direct instruction from Padmasambhava in a dream, Shangpa Kagyu Lama Kyergangpa (1154-1217) disseminated this form of Hayagriva throughout Tibet, where his iconography was later practiced in all of the schools of Tibetan Buddhism.

Compare a six-armed Hayagriva in the Jacques Marchais Museum published in Lipton & Ragnubs, Treasure of Tibetan Art, New York, Oxford, 1996, p. 111, no. 47, and a Mahakala attributed to the Dolonnor workshop from The Maitri Collection of Indian, Himalayan & Southeast Asian Art, sold at Bonhams, New York, 20 March 2018, lot 3215.

Provenance:
Sebastian Barbagallo, London, 1980s
