"Buddhist Dakini," Tibet, 18th century
Dakini is one of its most mysterious and complex figures. It is also said to be one of the finest Indian sculptures. They are meant to ward off evil and protect the faithful followers. The facial expression is grimace and angry. The necklace is made of skulls and sword as well as the sword handle.
Space:
Shape: The shape of this object is curvaceous and womanly. The face is also broader and more defined than older pieces.
Line: There are no straight lines within this object, which to me shows a lot of motion.
Composition: It is made from silver, copper, and semi precious stone.
it seems like you covered it well, this probably wont help, as your paper has already been turned in, but i would of mentioned the curved lines, unless specifically told line only refers to straight,
