 +Few outsiders were ever able to behold the splendor of Densatil monastery's stupas. Those who did, like Tucci in 1948, remarked at, "a wealth of carvings and reliefs that knew no limits... glittering with gold" (after Czaja & Proser, Golden Visions of Densatil, New York, 2014, p.62). Towering at some five meters high, Densatil's tashi gomang stupas were covered in gilded deities representing the retinue of Chakrasamvara in his celestial realm. The "gamboling" goddesses lining the upper register drew special comment from Tucci as well. Another outsider, Chandra Das, reckoned, "Of all the monasteries in Tibet, this is perhaps the richest in religious treasures..." (ibid., p.59). Densatil was one of the greatest monuments on the Asian continent; this beautiful gilded sculpture of Vajravarahi is one of its treasures.

 +Showing the stupas intact, Mele's photographs from Tucci's expedition allow us to identify Densatil's dispersed sculptures. The curved tang extending below the base of the present sculpture matches those within the photographs, and would have secured the goddesses to the top of the stupa (ibid., pp.158-9 & 164-5, figs.34 & 35). The openwork treatment of the vines covering the tang from the front further resemble numerous examples of Vajravarahi sculptures photographed at Densatil. Moreover, the robust physiognomy and flailing scarf are also similar to those photographed. Other Densatil Vajravarahi are published (ibid., pp.166-71, nos.42-4). Another sold at Christie's, New York, 17 September 2006, lot 1723. A further example is on display at the Capital Museum, Beijing.

 +Vajravarahi is the consort of Chakrasamvara and a yidam embodying perfected wisdom. Reflecting her perfection, the caster has afforded her a young and beautiful body. She strikes a graceful dancer's pose, effortlessly resting her weight on one foot. Superb festoons of bells surrounded by vines cascade by her legs. This ornamentation injects movement into the piece, while Vajravarahi's effortless pose and steady gaze provide a counterbalancing calm.
