An antique, 19th Century tsakli painting in mineral pigments depicting within an elongated nimbus of red, a
white bodied, big-bellied deity (Heyagriva) wearing a green-edged dark coat with flying sleeves. His identifying attribute, the horses
head, peeps from within his flying hair which is held back by a diadem; heavy earrings hang to his shoulders. He wears
long bodhisattva necklaces above his tiger-skin dhoti, and wears a flayed skin tied around his large waist, its hands tied
beneath his coat. His hands are in tarjani mudra, the gesture of warning. 8.6 x 12cm
