View submission: Help to ID this sacred object?
The various dancing female deities are dakinis, which occur in Vajrayana tantric practices. The style looks similar to Newari Buddhist, which would originate in Nepal. If this has a specific ritual use then it's far beyond my knowledge, and some quick searches aren't turning up anything of significance, especially not to those four specific large faces.

Thanks for your response. I was also thinking that this was Nepalese based on the inlay and copper styling.
