An exquisite and finely cast Tibetan statuette depicting Yama Dharmaraja in gilded bronze. The buffalo-headed deity is portrayed in a powerful stance, standing on top of a bull, which rests on a prostrate human figure in turn. This scene represents perseverance over ignorance and worldly desires. The monstrous figure, shown holding a staff in his right hand, has flamed-shaped hair, a crown of skulls, and snakes wrapped about his body. A beautifully rendered lotus base holds the composition (the base is sealed).

In Tibetan culture and religion, Yama Dharmaraja is revered as a guardian of spiritual practice, specifically protecting those engaged in the practises of the Vajrabhairava Tantra. He is a furious emanation of Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, who conquers death (Yama) to liberate the deserving from the endless cycle of life, death, and rebirth (Samsara).
