This is Varahi. With that, I am opening up a large subject. Larger than what I thought.

The forms of Varahi are several. Varahi has an independent presence; she is one of the matrikas in the Saptamatrika Group, and she is one of the sixty-four Yoginis. In these three forms, the attributes differ. To add to this, Varahi is worshipped in Buddhism as well.

Here, the Varahi has six arms and she is really armed to the teeth: sword, arrow, Trishul, axe, bow, and an unidentified attribute. She is sitting in an at-ease position with her right leg resting on a lotus. Given the attributes, her posture and the throne, it is likely this Varahi was worshipped on her own.

The peetha, throne, is supported by two lions. The lions are not her vahana. Lions as part of the throne are a common feature among the early, 8th-11th century CE, sculptures from Kashmir and parts of Himachal. There are examples of such thrones for Buddha, Durga, Rama, Lakshmi (see below) and Ganesha.

The crescent moon in her tiara is typical of Kashmir bronzes and helps us to confirm the geographic attribution.

This Varahi is about 9.5 cm tall and, according to the dealers, it dates to the seventh century.

Below is a style comparison of this Varahi and a Kashmir stone sculpture as shared by Tom, one of my collector-friends.

My website has two other Varahi bronzes: Varahi with Chakra and Varahi from Indonesia.
