The sculpture portrays Kurukulla Red Tara in a graceful dancing posture, surrounded by an elaborate flame-shaped aureole with detailed ornamental patterns. She is depicted with four arms, with her upper hands holding a bow and arrow while her lower hands extend outward with ritual objects shown in the sculpture. Her expressive face is framed by flowing hair and an ornate crown, while intricate jewelry, necklaces, and decorative ornaments cover her body. The figure is positioned on a beautifully carved lotus pedestal, with carefully detailed patterns throughout the base and backdrop. Every element, from the dynamic posture and layered ornaments to the finely carved aureole, reflects the traditional artistic representation of Kurukulla as preserved in Himalayan Buddhist sculpture.
