An antique 19th Century or earlier tsakli painting in mineral pigments depicting, within a golden aureole of stylised flames, a standing red bodied wrathful deity with a fierce expression, with yellow eyebrows and whiskers, his mouth open in a snarl, his eyes glaring. He wears a skull diadem to hold back his streaming hair and wears a tiger skin dhoti and bone ornaments, as well as a flayed elephant skin. He holds aloft a dorje in his right hand, a skull cup in his left. His consort holds aloft a skull cup and a chopper, she wears her leopard skin dhoti as they trample upon a prostrate corpse figure on their lotus throne. 8.2 x 9.2cm
