A splendid antique 19th Century tsakli painting in mineral pigments and gold depicting, within a violent burst of flames, a deep blue bodied wrathful deity with streaming hair held back by a gold diadem. He wears a lavishly gold- decorated green trimmed chocolate coloured coat, his turquoise trimmed, gold patterned black over coat with extravagantly flying sleeves. His right hand with claw-like nails holds a cluster of flaming jewels, while his left holds a gold bhumpa. He wears camel brown, thick-soled boots as he sits in the position of Royal Ease on his lotus throne. Blessing to reverse.6.9 x 7.8cm
