[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 857650, member: 2844"]The iconography is the specifics of position and attributes, which would be the same in Tantric Buddhist India and Nepal. But the face and crown on journey's statue look Indian, whereas the face and hairdo with cosmic flame on the one you posted look Nepali. So different cultures depicting the same mythical being in their own way, but both following the general rules of how to depict a dancing Dakini. Just different details, more in keeping with their own culture. That is the way it usually is in Asian religions.[/QUOTE]
