Gesar, King.

At the top center is Amnye Machen Pomra on a white horse. Slightly to the left side is Tsi'u Marpo, red in colour, on a red horse. Slightly to the right side is Tseringma riding a lion. Surrounding the central figure of Gesar are fourteen figures riding horses. In front of Gesar is a single female figure in a kneeling pose - offering tea with upraised hands.
