  6. Bronze Hayagriva. 17th century, Tibet. 5 1/2" (14 cm.) tall. Purchased at Sotheby's in 1995. The statue is solid bronze while the open base has rice paper prayers stuffed inside that are almost certainly of a later date than the statue. I haven't opened them. With a garland of skulls and crowned with a horse's head, he stands on two prostrate figures as he brandishes his sword. $4500.
