The identification below is only tentative and was a suggestion of a Tibetan Lama.

Machen Pomra: a Tibetan mountain deity subjugated and enlisted into the service of religious protectors. At the top left is a Tibetan lama with four wrathful meditational deities on the right. At the sides and the bottom are various retinue figures belonging to the entourage of Machen Pomra.

Tibetan: Ma chen pom ra
