Antique? Tibetan Bronze Dakini Vajrayogini

is this an antique? Or a recent reproduction ?

 

What does it say on the edge underneath??

 

Not much wear on the base, so 20th century.
I never call non-antique statues from a living religion reproductions. But of course many more are made now than in, say, the 18th century, both for local use and for export.

 

There is something written along the edge where I've put arrows, but I can't read it, and some strange symbols, which of course I cannot identify....one looks somewhat like a horse or donkey, one looks somewhat like a bird.....
and a fish.......also what I see could be an Asian child's face in the same area....could be a dog down near the bottom right as well!!! The more I look - the more pops up!!!!

​

 

Sry. I don’t really see it. There isn’t any writing that I can see in person. Might be just that picture angle

 

Not to worry, it CAN be camera angles sometimes..............
