Category or Sub Category	8: Communication Artifact
Object Name	Sculpture
Description	Yamantka (Conqueror of Death), one of the Eight Dharmapalas (Defenders of the Faith) is represented in the malevolent Bhairava form. This form with the head of a bull has two arms, the right hand holding a dandra (staff) with a skeleton on top, and two legs. His head is surrounded by a fiery halo (tejas) from which emanates three skulls representing transient human existence. While standing on a buffalo with a woman beneath, Yamantaka is about to embrace his consort. This signifies unity from duality. A visual representation of paired images arising from an exalted abstract concept of diverseness of attributes becoming totally one. Such representations are sometimes referred to as Yab-Yum. In black bronze.
