This charming fragment is Pala-Indian and most probably gilded later in Tibet.
It has been part of the stem of a mandala, and depicts some of the mahasiddhas on cemeteries, so the mandala was for a tantric fierce deity, like Yamantaka, Hevajra or Chakrasamvara.
Solid cast in deep relief in coppery bronze,
Pala, 11th Century.
