A GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF THE ‘SUPERSECRET’ HAYAGRIVA WITH CONSORT, 18TH-19TH CENTURY Tibetan-Chinese. Finely cast in two parts. The winged, four-legged, six-armed wrathful deity is striding in alidhasana in union with his consort atop prostrate figures on an oval lotus base with beaded rims, his primary arms holding a kartika and a kapala, the upper secondary hands grasping the hind paws of the tiger-skin wrapped around his back, while the lower hands are each held in karana mudra. His body is further adorned with a garland of severed heads, an elephant hide, and each figure with beaded jewelry and festoons. His three skillfully modeled faces display a wrathful expression marked by bulging eyes, furrowed brows centered by a third eye, and fiery beard, the flaming hair rising upward and issuing the characteristic horse head behind a skull tiara. (2) The underside of the figure and the underside and back of the base are each sealed with a separate copper plate. The base plate is incised with a double varja. Dimensions: Height 14 cm Hayagriva rules over the nagas and has the power to heal diseases. This particular three-headed, six-armed, and four-legged depiction is classified as a ‘supersecret-form’ identified in a vision by the Fifth Dalai Lama, see M. Rhie and R. Thurman, Worlds of Transformation: Tibetan Art of Wisdom and Compassion, New York, 1999, p. 377, cat.no. 140. Supersecret Hayagriva is a rare form of Hayagriva found in lineage and practice only in the Sakya Tradition and the Sera monastery of the Gelug tradition, where they are known as Padma Ishvara and Tamdrin Yang Sang (‘Very Secret’), respectively. The deity Begtse Chen is regarded as the special protector deity associated with Padma Ishvara. This meditational deity is possibly derived from the Nyingma Kama or Terma traditions, suggested by the following excerpt from a Nyingma liturgical text: "To the Dharma body of all conquerors of the Lotus Lineage, Vajra body of the Dharma Lord Amitabha, In a raging great form, emanating from Avalokiteshvara; Homage to Hayagriva, neighing like a horse."
