Description: This is an Estate Fresh FINE OLD CARVED SOAPSTONE 6.5" TIBET BUDDHIST DAKINI FIGURE w SWAN. The piece is well carved and great looking with good wear on the base as pictured, to support its older age. It stands 6.25" tall x 2.5" wide and 1.25" deep. I see no marks or symbols on it for identification. Dakinis are energetic beings in female form, evocative of the movement of energy in space. In this context, the sky or space indicates śūnyatā, the insubstantiality of all phenomena, which is, at the same time, the pure potentiality for all possible manifestations. A ḍākinī is a type of sacred female spirit in Hinduism, while in Vajrayana Buddhism the term is often wisdom dakini. The term can also be applied to human women with a certain amount of spiritual development. The Sanskrit term is related to ḍīyate, "to fly", as in uḍḍayanam.
