Goddess Marichi

This two-armed form of Marichi (Mongolian: Marichi eke) is the personification of a magic spell. She is yellow and holds a vajra in her right hand and a branch of the ashoka tree in her left. This figure most likely once was placed to the right of the goddess Tara at the head of a set of her twenty-one form. It is possible that this sculpture was once part of a set that is now in the collection of the Bogdo Khan Palace Museum in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
