Kurukulla; Central Tibet; 18th century; Ground mineral pigment, fine gold line, red ground on cotton; Rubin Museum of Art; F1996.7.2 (HAR 422)

“The Tibetan goddess Kurukulla, also known as Red Tara, is renowned for her powers of enchantment. She may be called upon to bewitch or subdue humans and demons alike. She typically holds a bow and arrow, similar to Cupid or Eros in Western mythology. If her mantra is repeated ten thousand times, it is said to bring about all of one’s desires.

Kurukulla is shown here in an eighteenth-century painting and is depicted in her signature red, the symbolic color of power and seduction.” (Rubin Museum of Art)
