sl1600_35.jpg

An antique 19th Century tsakli painting in mineral pigments, depicting an unusual subject - within a burst of flames rides a figure on a snow lion. He wears a domed red hat with a dorje finial, belted green-edged saffron robe over trousers and boots, beneath an over coat with flying sleeves. He has a quiver of arrows at his back, and a leopard skin quiver holds his bow to his side. He holds viscera in both hands.... His semi wrathful face has knitted brows, 3 eyes; his full lipped mouth is closed, and his red hair is pulled back beneath his hat and curls, somewhat like an early European hairstyle.. 8.6 x 10.5cm


other sizes: small medium large original auto
