Hope u like my interpretation ..

Hey, thank u guys 4 ur positive comments..

@Durgldeep; thanx good to hear.. but I don't get ur 1st line.
@'Rockstar30; hm yeah similarities are surely present in picturing as well as in the beliefs throughout those close cultures I think
- but I'm not that much into those - glad u like it.

ahh ok
I's thinking in the wrong direction, thought u were talking in some kind of metaphers hehe
Thanx for putting that much thought into this piece..

Errm, but don't give its pictured size too much weight;
it's meant to be a human body/corpse the dakini crushes/dances on - which stands for the destruction of a big ego and selfimportance.
She also often has a flowered bow'n'arrow, flowertipped lasso and flowerrod or -hook , flaming hair + ornamants and apron of bones - sometimes she also wears human heads ..
Hopefully thats answers ur dwarfproblem

Ah, metaphors - stuff like subtle antagonism, passive-agressive tactics, etc.(?).
I see. Have seen some examples hereabouts - but that's life.

I got that the figure isn't a dwarf, yeah (re proportions). By 'dwarf' I meant
location in the layout. Sorry for not being clear. My bad.
