DescriptionPainting with decorative borders, mounted on support panel. Would have originally been in thangka format.
A warrior god (dressed in Mongolian-style armor) appears at the center with lamas, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas above; a Dakini and Yamantaka at the sides, two more wrathful deities below them; Vaishravana, Kubera, and Mahakala (?) at bottom.
Condition poor. Dark and very difficult to read.
