An antique 19th Century or earlier tsakli painting in mineral pigments depicting, riding through the roiling clouds and carried by a swift wind on the back of his mount, a deer, a yellow bodied peaceful deity. He wears a multi layered red coat trimmed with green, with fluttering sleeves and ribbons with a pair of sturdy boots. His hair is tied behind an elaborate 'golden' crown and he wears heavy earrings- his face is serene. He holds aloft his right hand with a delicate gesture of his fingers - a large gem (norbu) in his left, as he gazes imperturbably at the realms below. Two affixing cloth tabs to the reverse side. 9.3 x 11.2cm
