sl1600_15.jpg

An antique, 19th Century or earlier tsakli painting in mineral pigments and gold depicting, within a green -edged mandorla and a green nimbus, a bearded dark skinned semi-wrathful deity in yabyum with his white-skinned Sakti. They both wear gold jewellery and diadems, and are smiling, he beneath knitted brows as befits his semi wrathful nature. He holds aloft a beribboned, gold bound damaru (pellet drum), a skull cup filled with matter in his left hand. She holds a bell and a dorje in her hands, as they sit atop 2 prostrate figures on their golden throne. 7.5 x 8.8cm
