Shambhala King: slightly wrathful, red in colour, with orange hair flowing upward. He holds the stem of a white lotus in the right hand and a lasso in the left; seated with the two legs extended in front supported by naga serpents. This image is iconographically identical to HAR #15447. At the left side of the king sits a consort, blue in colour, holding a curved knife and skullcup.
